Post-Rainfall Pavement

Written with love & care by Drew Henry

She slips out of the dress as she slides through

Wet drips muddled in the soft nuzzle anew

Smoke sets like a blank fog out the chimney

Trailing a line down pillars of rocks by the ocean

Sea mist, misty eyes that missed her eyes

Demise could be quick, rise could be slow

The dip & drift of her thighs & shy little glance

Sinking back into contentment like a falling leaf

Rocket Man high up all by his lonely

Lonesomeness is not so much a hassle

Basking in solitude potentially subdues the blues

She comes over & melts me down to the core

Skinny love… just make it through the year

Tides of a teardrop… somehow staying afloat

I’m a nobody to anybody

Or maybe i’m jus lost in my mind

Reality jus a figment of imagination

To lean into our own creation isn’t all that bad

Genesis & Revelation to all of our stories

Our souls guided by light

The light ignited by a spark in the dark

Sometimes at based levels

We see life as it really is

The genius of our oblivion

The pleasure within pain

The pleasant humor within life

She’s taking a cab back to her apartment

Then brewing a late night post-cigarette coffee

I remember the early morning hummingbird

Fluttering by the little makeshift terrace garden

And the girl walking by talking about the slopes

And the yacht rock off some guy’s speakers

And the local bus always making it’s rounds

The 3 o’clock beer instead of an afternoon nap

Lou Reed singing on the Transformer record

And Mac Demarco saying she’s best in dreams

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Of an early morning cigarette in a grey daze

And black coffee at the Vienna Bakery & Café

Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

Of some God forsaken art

And the girl who stole my heart
