Leaving the City <br class="br"> Divers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divers_(Joanna_Newsom_album) (2015) <br class="br">Context: In December of that year,<br>the word came down that she was here.<br>The days grew shorter.<br>I was sure, if she came 'round,<br>I’d hold my ground. I'd endure.<br>But they'd alluded to a change<br>that came to pass,<br>and Spring, deranged,<br>weeping grass and sleepless,<br>broke herself upon my windowglass.<br>And I could barely breathe, for seeing<br>all the splintered light that leaked her fissures,<br>fleeing, launched in flight:<br>unstaunched daylight, brightly bleeding,<br>bleached the night with dawn, deleting,<br>in that high sun,<br>after our good run,<br>when the spirit bends<br>beneath knowing it must end.
“I'm walking on the sky I see the moon I see the light”
