Swing Low Per Diem

Bookmark
HomeUncategorizedSwing Low Per Diem
Pulling the pins from your effigy
We met where the shadows dwell
As the burlap leaked your soul 
Swinging in low per diem
We danced the cheap allowances
Underneath the flickering neon 
Counting down the pennies and the hour 
Trading your heartbeat for mine
The threadbare coat you wore so well
Fraying at the edges of the night
We lived inside the margins of the rent
Chasing a ghost of a brighter light
