-

trains go by and days
go by,

years and yearnings
and tears,
they go by too

and we'll
survive the rain,

all of the rains

and fathers,
stairs and soot,

we'll survive

the flowers
and sunrises and sleet

tired
with stained eyes,
glassy,

the shawls and
soles and burns
are survived,

the kittens go by
and torn
jeans go by,

and we'll get by,

we survive,
are suffered
like all the rest

and drink
to the restless
eyes of all
nights,

many of which
go by.
