about

Written after gutting houses in New Orleans' 9th Ward post-Katrina. This song was featured in the Emmy-award-winning documentary "Baring It All."

lyrics

She, with red hair and white hazmat jumpsuit. We are spilled.
Me, with black lung and transparent safety glasses.
We will pass each other by.

He, with Coltrane and Monk and pile of blues on the table,
three-piece suits on the curb.
The weeds grow in the shade of the dismembered porch steps
where a foundation misplaced its house.

We are spilled. We spill our breathing here.

This road and I: both lovely and broken. We are spilled.
Good lord the morning sure looks good today!
Trees and sky settle on the ruins.

On the corner of Galvez and Tricou, sky is the ghost of the Mississippi.
Sky is the ghost of a river.
