Dwelling

In my dreams I often go back to the town where I grew up, to taste the sea air and recall the touch of the banister in the hallway of the house I left behind.
Shoes have been walking the rain
A troubadour wandering, wondering, wild
Looking for answers, asking the child
Dwelling
Salt creeping over the toes
Dwelling
Dwelling

Town changing shape in the rain
The sea doesn't even come close any more
I’ve no reasons left to return to this shore
Dwelling
Time folding back upon time
Dwelling
Dwelling

House growing old in the rain
The touch of a banister waiting
On spindles diminishing, tracing the shape of a
Dwelling
My fingers recall themselves into a fist
Dwelling
