[track] Elena’s Stars
Dusted off some twang for a story of beauty in sadness. Some days, whiskey over absinthe…
…Elena lived on Avenue X,
next to a trestle
all her life.She dreamed of distant places
and of jumping random trains
a thousand times.She craved a sky that let her know she was home.

one city
she walks into union square
sends the pigeons flying
didn’t think i’d find her there
didn’t think of trying
she sits on a bench above the subway
as the trains rumble by
i see her shake
inside the hiss of a subway’s brakes
it means everything and nothing just the same
a city
to strangers
one city
two strangers
one city
too strange
dreams between drags on a cigarette
while i watch
under the lights of an august city
that will never stop
red street, the light of a taxi’s brakes
it means everything and nothing just the same
a city
to strangers
one city
two strangers
one city
too strange
