Salem Sisters
Silent days on balance
Laughter from below
While the conversations flow
And the bar that I traced
For to reach my final place
Welcomes me in
I believe
Of the tree
The fire beneath
Laughs at me
Well, thighs grilled on both sides
with the tongs
As the party moves along
To the song that I wrote
I’m a Pharaoh on a boat
And I watch
Embers beneath my feet
The fire wants to grill
Tongs held high with conscious envy
while the party’s singing
Grandma seems to take up swimming
I believe
Of a tree
As the fire beneath
Creeps up to me
Suddenly
Swallows me
It’s meant to be, oh yeah
That’s what summer’s for
