Crossroads from What Fire by john jermyn

CROSSROADS


Crossroads
Scare the hell out of me
Headlights
Bearing down on top of me
Like a strangers eyes
Looking straight through me
Like a torn up root
Lying by the side of the freeway

Each time
I wake up
I swear I
I want to make up

I go down
And spend time by the river

And I wade out
Into the midstream
Dark water
Makes circles all around me
And the long green weed
Twists and tangles around my knees

Each time
I wake up
I swear I
I want to make up

So I go down
And drive down by the river

So I go down
And spend time by the river

Crossroads
Scare the hell out of me
