Love, Texas Marriages

I walk the line
Wearing white
Wearing love I
I’m dressed so fine
From dawn to night
Stand out on the highway

I wait for you each damn day
I wait for what we called learning
Your touch like sunscreen
Keeps me from burning

Grandmother, a table
Grandfather, your ashes
I came here
To Texas
To reclaim
What was ours

I wait for him each damn day
I wait for what I know is worth it
His touch like sunscreen
Keeps me from burning

I walk the line
Dressed in white
Barefoot on the highway
Walking
Lights in my eyes
I can’t see
Walking
I just follow the white, white line
