Across the Way

Purple thirst

Grape smoke

Summer night

upon night

upon night

Gray beard

Brown skin

Summer night

upon night

upon night

Across the way

Another one

Pale moon glow

Who's she writin'?

Summer night

upon night

upon night

Breeze rustles leaves

and curls

and her gown

Her thighs are as white as her breasts

Across the way

Who's she writin'?

Watchin' that tree

like she waits for her lover,

but it's just she

and me

across the way

Summer night

upon night

upon night
