ALLEGHENY MORNING SKY

farewell Eugene
leave your coat your calling card
the bridge ain’t that wide
leave us here under this Allegheny morning sky

farewell Eugene
from the crow to the cry
the rooster the wreckage
this Allegheny morning sky

halfway house will the window open wide
and black gold down in the gutter
behind this Allegheny morning sky

you came in on the front line
and you left out on the sly
beneath this Allegheny morning sky
