Tundra

If that’s you in the dunes
I should have returned your call
I’m sure you’ve walked away by now
You’re not waiting anymore

Communication’s gone cold
Lines are down
Too many inches of snow
Have fallen now

Why do you freeze me out
Like I don’t belong
Why do you freeze me out
I’m already gone

And if I write would you reply?
Do you even read me or will I be
Left to linger like a mammal in the midday heat
Marching to missing beat

A lonely memory can only watch its embers burn away

Communication’s gone cold
Lines are down
Too many inches of snow
Have fallen now

Why do you freeze me out
Like I don’t belong
Why do you freeze me out
I’m already gone

I’m a desert in you
