Salt wind snaps the camera strap
Boots hit concrete, bridge, and map
Old case clicks on rusted rail
Tide rolls slow through morning veil
Fiddle wood holds decades deep
Counting steps while drivers sleep
Each vibration marks a soul
Metal hums and wheels turn whole
Violin counts footsteps past the overpass
Bow sings low where tires scream and pass
Wood remembers every traveling soul
Concrete hums while ocean rolls
Shutter clicks at golden hour
Light spills honey on the tower
Violin case wears scratches proud
Salt and sun sing scratchy loud
Violin counts footsteps past the overpass
Bow sings low where tires scream and pass
Wood remembers every traveling soul
Concrete hums while ocean rolls
Night falls hard on coastal steel
Headlights paint the wood surreal
No audience but stars and spray
Just the bow and yesterday
Morning brings the bus again
Thumb out steady, calloused hand
Camera catches violin's breath
Salt air writes its own strange death
Overpass still counts the beat
Violin wood and concrete feet
Shutter snaps the final frame
Road and bow stay much the same
Violin counts footsteps past the overpass
Bow sings low where tires scream and pass
Wood remembers every traveling soul
Concrete hums while ocean rolls
Violin counts footsteps Past the overpass Violin counts footsteps
Past the overpass
