Leferever -

I can lay down and watch the light

Become perfect outside

And live a charmed life

By way of your eyes

With your hair laid out

On the trampoline

All around your head just like

A halo ring

Covered in confetti leaves

Under the branch of a Crepe Myrtle tree

Bright and cold where the clouds get big

The way they do driving by the sea

Leave, be free, I tried

I wanted to say goodbye

Gone like last light

Leave, be free, you tried

You don’t owe an apology

Searching for something

Now Small Joy Hill is covered in Kudzu

Though we saw the whole year through

You wanna say goodbye but you

Can’t bring yourself to

Do your sisters

Still call you bird?

The loving voices

You’ve always heard
