The Obeisant Vine
Keith Kenniff
Rows of white doves on the wall
As the breeze is blowing through the house
It turned southeast toward the 3rd floor window
And it set them free from the single path
Those years of watching the kids grow up
As the curtains dance and they look on
The hour of the wolf had passed
And the wind had called from the windmill grass
All those eyes have gone away
All those I've turned away from from
All those lies they fade away
All that I've walked away from
