Shoulders

11 1 0
                                    

Your shoulder blades jut from your back
Like nails from the siding of an old house
I see how you move, with your joints creaking
The same ghosting tune of a deserted home
Closing my eyes, I can keep swing time
With the rhythm of your footsteps

Name ringing out a hush, they fell silent to you,
Oh towering light post

Now command not with your physicality
But with your voice
