Watch Her Disappear Last night I dreamed that I was dreaming of you And from a window across the lawn I watched you undress Wearing a sunset of purple tightly woven around your hair That rose and strangled ebony curls moving in a yellow bedroom light The air is wet with sound The faraway yelping of a wounded dog And the ground is drinking a slow faucet leak Your house is so soft and fading as it soaks the black summer heat A light goes on and a door opens And a yellow cat runs out on the stream of hall light and into the yard A wooden cherry scent is faintly breathing the air
I hear your champagne laugh You wear two lavender orchids one in your hair and one on your hip A string of yellow carnival lights comes on with the dust Circling the lake in a slow dipping halo And I hear a Banjo tango And you dance into the shadow of a Black Poplar Tree I watched you as you disappeared I watched you as you disappeared I watched you as you disappeared...
