the cadillac couldn't slow in time to see
he fell to his knees this one went down with the breeze
the house grew around her miss pat sat back
and watched the wind blow the leaves from the trees
from the branches to the riverbed below
last on the drive set through the cold
carried her away from the winter
in from the cold
they were lined up from left to right from front to back
to help weaken the attack of the brave
they were carried away
these stairs led to nowhere
but she followed them down
she followed them away
