Lyrics
The rust stain on the porch screen looks like Nephi's map.
The third stair sighs the way it did the week you packed.
The cold fog on the greenhouse glass smells of fern and chitin,
A list of quiet things the deed has gotten written.
[Chorus]
A line of salt across the sill,
To keep the house from getting ill.
A line of salt, a desert prayer,
For what was never there.
[Verse 2]
The miller moths in the porch light draw their chalky lace.

[Chorus]
A line of salt across the sill,
To keep the house from getting ill.
A line of salt, a desert prayer,
For what was never there.
[Outro]
The screen door's quiet on its hinge.
The map is gone. It doesn't flinch.
