Future Rust

Jarrett Osborn

Let’s get closer, complicated
Burn the sunlight, watch it fading
While we’re dancing to the radio

In my memory I can smell you
Cloves and daisies, in your bedroom
Lauren Hill is on the stereo

With time and space, nothing to hold but your trust
For all I know it’s building up to future rust.
In simple ways I’m learning to live like I must
In sun and rain, we’re all gonna rust

In my rear view California
Coins and wishes for atonement
Here I’m parked out on the interstate
