Make The Lights Work For You by Clem Flowers

When the last notes of the accordion and the vest frottoir fade along the creaking arches of the barren oak & honeysuckle, when you walk far enough away from everything the waves of the bayou cresting on the midnight shores of the edge of the causeway, when all you know anymore is the sounds of the gators swimming thru deep, cold water, the crawdad traps shaking on their tethered line, and a life in the woods you tell yourself means you know harm but your soft fey bones never really let you believe is real—that's when you learn to Make The Lights Work For You.
