Changeling Part I

changeling, valley or mountain
clay kin, river it’s bound in
when I left the town a rain cloud pillowed through
How was I to know the rain clouds follow you?
How long is this stretch of highway
are there miles and miles of driving left to do?
changeling
valley to mountains
sea change
river’s own foundling
I took the train to the edge of the county
The land is still green and blue
There is the same slate and brown mirror river
where I’ll come southbound down to you
narrow water, brittle bone
wandering daughter, always coming home
changeling, narrow river
sea change, currents splinter
drowned mouth
salt shroud
Coming back to town a storm cloud's coming too
I did not intend lay this upon you
How long is this stretch of railroad?
are there miles and miles of rolling left to do?
wait at the station till noon
I am unchanged I assure you
See how my eyes are still blue
Let me in all of your fine rooms
changeling, bauble bridges
broke in, child in image
wound down, left town
