tumbling sideways down some snowy Michigan backstreet
CD tape adapter roiling metal even if it isn't
pump the brakes and roll the window down
snow blasting in
is this really the place?
I pull the ghost of an old geo-metro in to the unplowed driveway
snow-washed, lost beyond the scope of an easy answer
kill the lights, to match the vibe
of the haunted house your directions led me to
any trace of paint's worn off the old man's hand-carved dream
20 years past his 20 year coin was jingling next to car keys
cigarettes and coffee, withered hands that offered peace
to all those lost, discarded men and beasts alike
one more chance
given freely
again and again
til it's not
no light inside, not a sound to save your life but falling snow and
faint howling on the tree-line,
primal, sad deja entendu
maybe that's what possesses me to forge a knee-deep path around the back
I've come too far before I wonder why i've come at all
socks are soaking, shadow's lost beyond the streetlight's glow
guess i've come because I thought that I might get one more chance
to see you, one more chance to say goodbye
one more chance
given freely
again and again
til it's not
frozen at the tree-line where the dark meets even darker
darker still, the shadow slumped beneath a nearby pine tree
I bend down, and scoop you up
so wet and cold and weak,
the puppy licks my cheek
trembling like the fur-ball in my arms we start the hike back
I see your face, before you turned and walked away the last time
all I had for my dear friend, were disappointed eyes
would've been so easy just to give you...
one more chance
give it freely
again and again
til you can't
