The Gift
Lukas Frank
Through her dreams reach arms of night
She moves each street with her eyes
A small town
Blooms upside down
And rains with lunes of iris light
Limp red tongue and tusk of light
She strides in the maw of the limelight
A faint crowd, let it wane down
Down to you
She's gone
Off into the highway song
The cars
They whisper and they sigh
Her name
Endlessly
Strain and hunger, winter's price
These rooms breed suits and pearls alike
When summer comes down
As a curtain before a crowd
Shе'll know the gambit's ruse
A game that еnds as soon as
She's gone
Off into the highway song
The cars they whisper and they sigh
Her name
Endlessly
