Sea Change

I saw the signs
I felt it in my bones
A new desire
An audacity to hope
 
In parking lots
We broke our daily bread
We drew the plans
In gardens for the dead
Hear the gunshots
Hold on to a stranger's thighs
Hear the gunshots
Fireworks and friendly fire
 
A slow descent
An ever-changing game
I read the lines
It all remains the same
