Don t listen to this melody while

song of the many broken roads
celebrate celebrate

arroyo of lawyers
shell among shells

bloodstained cell on the floorboards
faded turquoise

in this cataract
not to think of it

broken runway
the water shines as of old

arroyo of low years
you cross & climb back out

quizzical no more
my beautiful little dolls

my shadow shifted
the way is prepared
