My wonderful band has just recorded this song as our contribution to the 2011 Design Hope project. If you like the lyrics, you're going to love the music! I'll keep you posted on the release date--as soon as I know, you'll know, too...
Snowplow Central Station
winter erases this city
one streetlight at a time
replaces the grey of everyday
with a palace of purest white
me: driving
aimless through this wilderness
of straight
lines
searching
for a curve to serve
as model
for my lost smile
the music of a hundred aimless
radios in our fingertips;
the static of a falling sky
melting on our tongues and lips
you:
working dispatch
for
roadside assistance
beating
swords to snow plows
for the
Broken Heart Resistance Front
all the roads home
lose focus and fade
blue lights map the night
invent us a city phrase by phrase
carving love letters—
black lines on this empty page
a map for
every wanderer
clearing
the way back home…
