________________________________________________
It used to be as though one could offer and bestow a love so.
The boys would tend to cars and things
The girl would hope through faded windows.
The skin that drips the salty sweet is glistening in the small town sun.
The eyes that give the day away would meet in the dusty road.
5:30 eggs just the way he likes them
Would slide across the counter in a rush of excitement.
And pour another cup. He thanks her politely.
Everyone, everyone can see.
Two years down the road sheās his girl, heās her soldier
Clutching to the picture and the hope that sheāll remember
The times theyād meet behind the shed
And this is then what he readā¦
And he said:
āIām busting out of hereā
I caught a cab to the station. Took a train to the shore.
I jumped the boat and rode the waves to your shore.
I ran for miles in the shoes of a smiling refugee.
I was one with the mighty river flow.
I saw the dust rising up from the edge of my fatherās field.
I smelled the sweet Magnolia.
Now here I stand in front of you.
It used to be as though one could offer and bestow a love so.
Now here we are again my refugee love.
