Ordinary Day

Lisa Cerbone


As I walk away.
I'm struck by the ordinary day. 
Girl in white. 
Twirls against the blue of the sky. Far from shame. 
Far from blame. 
Far from where she came. 
As I walk away. 
I'm struck by the ordinary day. 
Spanish boy. 
Runs along the train tracks with a dog. 
Far from shame. 
Far from blame. 
Far from where he came. 
As I walk away. 
I'm struck by the ordinary day. 
I carry you underneath the stars shining in your room. Far from shame. 
Far from blame. 
This is where you came.
