In the proudlight
Of the yellow moon,
The birches swim
White in the wind.
The dirt has a gravelust for water.
Overcast skies are a promise.
Lost my flashlight in the river.
Lost my flashlight in those waters.

I was having a cigarette on Jarret Street
When a gray-haired man asked if he could buy one from me.
I didn’t think much of it at the time
Until he wandered into the bar that night.
In the neon light I could see,
But I’m not sure when I believed
That worn down man,
Was someone so familiar to me.
He pushed the candle away,
He said "I can't abide an open flame."
I heard a little Alabama in his tone.
I said, “what brings you to Asheville on your own?”
He said, “I lost my old life in a fire.
It made me distant, mean and a liar.
And I don’t know where I’m going,
I just know I’m tired."
I slid a beer across the bar and he gave me a nod.
I stepped into the alley to give Julia a call.
I said, “I know it’s your night off, but can you come downtown?
I think Jen and Emma’s Dad is sitting in our bar.”

I called the landlord about the hall light.
He said he’d have it fixed by Friday.
Listen Marsha there’s something you should know,
About me and Robert from the Mothlight
When I told him he said nothing.
He just kept pacing back and forth.
Later that night I came home angry,
You joked, "let’s move to New York."
Child, your roots are strong enough to grow.
Through concrete and steel.
The next day I went to Mothergrove.
Myra Ballard gave me pennyroyal tea.
I’m sorry I never told you,
I didn’t want you to worry.
She told me, "Child, your roots are strong enough to grow.
Through concrete and steel."

It’s cold in the kitchen this morning
The moon lingers late, a pale cream crescent
How many clouds came this way in the nighttime
Leaving this chill and erasing the landscape
