You kick the bus awake at half past nine Your camera catches smoke across the line A folded flag is resting on your knee You never let the creases open wide You chase the sunrise through the window glass Then pocket every shadow that it cast You stop beside a lake with rented rooms You sketch your jacket underneath the moon The flag stays buried in your canvas bag A quiet weight behind the dashboard rag You pour the coffee as the engine cools And fold the corners over all the rules You carried all the miles you never flew You carried all the towns that rolled you through You held the color tight against your side You never let the open air decide Let the soft blue widen out of view Let your heavy heart unfold it too You wake in Memphis with a cotton sheet Your boots are dry beneath the broken heat A waitress asks what's tucked inside your pack You trace the stitches where the shadow sat You lift your camera to the waking wall But shoot the motes of gold above the hall The last grey station disappears behind Your suitcase rattles as the weather turns You reach the porch where all your maps begin With dust on both your cuffs and on your chin The folded flag is patient in your hand You bring it to the grass but cannot stand You carried all the miles you never flew You carried all the towns that rolled you through You held the color tight against your side You never let the open air decide Let the soft blue widen out of view Let your heavy heart unfold it too You kneel where porch light settles on the boards The evening opens all its hinged doors You loosen thread by thread and shake the crease And watch the wind take colors through the trees Your shutter clicks as freedom finds the air Your dusty flag is breathing everywhere You carried all the miles you never flew You carried all the towns that rolled you through You held the shape that no one else could see You bring the open blue and set it free Let every quiet corner loosen wide Let your heavy heart unfold inside Let the soft blue widen out of view Let the wind remember what the years withdrew Let your heavy heart unfold it too
