clara to calary

last night i dreamt i flew from clara to calary

up behind the sugarloaf

when i go off the planet

no headstone of granite

scatter my ashes on a wave as it crashes

tail end

hurricane charlie

the beach

the moon

the stars

come back to me

charlie

when his pen's on the page

he cheats death

has no age

when his pen's off the page

he's old

filled with rage

smuggle the whiskey to your ailing grandmother

into the hospital and under the pillow

tail end

hurricane charlie

the beach

the moon and your skin

come back to me

charlie
