quiet mirth

When the last of them turn south
And this city rolls to a stop
Think of me, dear

With the silence settling slowly and with patience
Like smoke in the lungs
I know that you would like it here

You would breathe this in like pine forests
Crawl through its branches
And climb towards the sun

You would thank me for what it has to offer
And what you will become
