Piecework

[00:15.09] Now he's back again till talking through the dust
[00:24.09] About money, about the kids
[00:30.26] About forty years of digging dirt
[00:36.76] Cold coffee and collared shirts
[00:40.03] Double threaded under dull light
[00:46.44] When your arms won't fold
[00:49.64] You're so sick for home
[00:52.11]
[02:06.62] Now you're back again
[02:13.57] Walk in through the dust
[02:20.28] The same floor holds the same chairs
[02:27.20] Bent backs for collared shirts
[02:33.04] You breathed dust
[02:37.05]
[02:43.80] Stars shine through tin on plaster
[02:50.77] Straight arms won't stop the world
[02:57.46] Dust hangs in the dull late light
[03:03.97] You're so sick for home
[03:07.57] He breathed stone
[03:12.93] Breathe
[03:15.30]
