Lyrics
The dust on the porch rail is finer than flour.
It's May, but the juncos have all disappeared.
You're sanding that cedar for going on an hour.
"It's just the old lady," you said, "nothing's weird."

"It's nothing," you whisper, "just weather the storm."
But there's no storm, just this pressure, this weight.
It's home. And you're asking to leave it too late.
[Outro]
The dust on the porch rail.
The hum in the ground.
