Ink bleeds blue on cardboard thin
Tomato vines climb rusted tin
Your address smudged by rain and time
My thumb traces each crooked line
Condensation beads and falls
On shattered panes and mossy walls
Two voices rise where silence sat
Harmonies in thermostat
Postcard hums beneath the glass
Roots remember what was passed
Altos blend in dusty air
Hymns we swore we'd never share
Pencil marks count planting days
Seedlings stretch through fractured rays
You wrote "soon" in looping script
I read it while the soil shifted
Condensation beads and falls
On shattered panes and mossy walls
Two voices rise where silence sat
Harmonies in thermostat
Postcard hums beneath the glass
Roots remember what was passed
Altos blend in dusty air
Hymns we swore we'd never share
Terra cotta cracks along the rim
Water pools where light grows dim
Your stamp corner torn away
Mine still stuck from yesterday
Postcard hums beneath the glass
Roots remember what was passed
Altos blend in dusty air
Hymns we swore we'd never share
Harmonica breathes through broken seams
Waking ghosts in tomato dreams
We sang descant, you took lead
Now I hold the lower seed
Postcard hums beneath the glass
Roots remember what was passed
Altos blend in dusty air
Hymns we swore we'd never share
Ink fades green where mold creeps slow
Addresses lost to seasons' flow
Yet something germinates in dark
A chord resolved from splintered bark
Postcard hums beneath the glass
Roots remember what was passed
Altos blend in dusty air
Hymns we swore we'd never share
Postcard hums beneath the glass
Roots remember what was passed
Altos blend in dusty air
Hymns we swore we'd never share
Fingerpicked strings fade slow
Pedal steel lets go
