Cook flips eggs on blackened steel
Regulars know how the night feels
Violin rests on splintered wood
Bow hair tightens understood
Salt crust clings to tuning pegs
Wind sings through the rusted legs
Rosin dust on calloused thumb
Harbor swallows every hum
Salt and rosin on the bow
Pier remembers what we know
Strings cry out to gulls above
Wind carries the ghost of love
Diner neon flickers pale
Violin sings a weathered tale
Cook wipes grease on checked cloth
Music cuts the harbor fog
Salt and rosin on the bow
Pier remembers what we know
Strings cry out to gulls above
Wind carries the ghost of love
Case snaps shut at morning break
Dew forms on the fingered stake
Cook serves bacon, eggs, and toast
Violin sleeps what mattered most
Tourists snap the pier at noon
Violin gone beneath the moon
Only salt stays in the grain
Bow marks etched in wood remain
Night shift starts the cycle fresh
Coffee steam and bacon mesh
Case unlocks on splintered wood
Bow hair tightens understood
Salt and rosin on the bow
Pier remembers what we know
Strings cry out to gulls above
Wind carries the ghost of love
Salt and rosin on the bow
Pier remembers what we know
Fryer hums at three a.m.
Violin sings once again
