Songs From Maria Street

I hear people there are re-hanging house numbers
Still rattled by the quake and former lovers
They’ve even cleaned up the yard and renewed their lease
Still there is no sign to tell you you’re on Maria Street
Some people still keep a gun hidden behind the closet door
In case they come for the Toyo stove, money or even more
Just a few houses down a woman shouts it’s time to eat
It’s just another day in the black spruce on Maria Street
There may be no running water but there’s always gravity
There may be plenty of minuses even -33
And the 18-wheelers will remind you not everyone sleeps
As if you didn’t already know by the lights on Maria Street
Someone’s life changed there with a single phone call
You may have brought it all with you but when you leave you can’t take it all
And if you listen hard you’ll hear a wind chime left in the trees
Playing a few notes of songs from Maria Street
