K Street

We're always two weeks away
From a place thats so dark
that they

Think that they know so well
Why she would
Choose this hell.

But I know as I
Watch her smoke
Exhale in sighs

That she feels that round
This corner
She'll be found.

I see her take her walk
To cars
And tell them to park.

Its been much more than two weeks
And she feels
That she brought defeat

No one stands outside
With cold sores
In the night

And picks up the knifes
Dropped down
By lonely lives

Thinking with stains
They're cleaning
That they

Ever possessed the teeth
To bite down and hold on
To just two weeks.
