lyrics

a young woman studies the receipt
for her groceries, trying to ignore
the maple tree burning behind her
like a drunk with secrets to reveal

it drops a yellow note in her lap
she shuffles it into the gutter
it rains a dozen propositions
on her, disordering the bus stop

but she is quiet and content because
she knows the consequence of passion
a week from now this tree will stand
naked and exhausted in the wind
