feels it give way beneath him
Yet sings
Knowing he has wings.

And the rooms all smell like diesel
And you take on the
Dreams of the ones who have slept here
And I'm lost in the window…
And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear
‘One for every year he's away’ she said…
― Tom Waits, Ninth & Hennepin (from “Rain Dogs”)
