Rain hits the porch boards, ink begins to run Cypress knees drink deep now day is done Envelope swells thick like biscuit dough Message sinks soft where the wet winds blow Bayou letter soaked in dusk and rain Carries a weight no stamp could explain Porch boards hold the story, warped and deep Secrets the water intends to keep Cook wipes the counter, reads the grease-stained page Knows the handwriting from the night shift wage Sees the smudge where a thumb pressed hard Like a short-order ticket torn from the card Bayou letter soaked in dusk and rain Carries a weight no stamp could explain Porch boards hold the story, warped and deep Secrets the water intends to keep Ink bleeds names of the drowned and the living Promises made and never forgiving Gator slides silent past the porch light glow Heron stands still where the black waters flow Coffee grows cold in the chipped white mug Grill goes quiet, just the night shift shrug Letter drinks the rain like a thirsty soul Paper drinks deep till the fibers are whole Dawn will find the envelope torn and gone Scattered like shells on the waking lawn Cook flips the sign to closed for the day Wipes the griddle clean, lets the letter stay Bayou letter soaked in dusk and rain Carries a weight no stamp could explain Porch boards hold the story, warped and deep Secrets the water intends to keep Bayou keeps the words that the postman missed Porch holds the silence, the rain, the mist Regulars nod, they know the score Some letters ain't meant for a door no more Bayou letter soaked in dusk and rain Carries a weight no stamp could explain Porch boards hold the story, warped and deep Secrets the water intends to keep Bayou letter, bayou letter Drowning in the ink of the wet bayou weather Rain writes the ending, the cook reads it clear Bayou letter disappears
