lyrics

I’ve heard everyone’s halcyon days, no matter the place,
Come and go.
I know you were worried your poetry told me too much.
I’m tired of reading, tired of breathing the stale
Desert air.
I know you were born here,
And you know you wait for monsoons
Or graduate into a honeymoon.

You collapsed on my bed and you confessed
To an inherited sense of dread.
You talked of the grief horse your dad bought you
The last time it felt this bad,
And then you never talked about it again.

Where did your horse go, Kasey?
Where did your horse go, Kasey?
You’ve had such sad eyes lately.

Needless to say, you never made it back from winter break.

Where did your horse go, Kasey?
Where did your horse go, Kasey?

Who went out riding when you dropped out, got married?
There are pictures of you in Guam, two babies.
There are poems I saved from the halcyon days.
Are you happy?
I guess I wouldn’t know quite how to tell.
