The old fan creaks
Flies sluggishly dance
An old man sleeps on the porch
Muttering
The old fan creaks
Flies sluggishly dance
A woman stands by the window
In the Georgia heat
The old fan creaks
Flies sluggishly dance
The dust settles down
The old man turns
Cursing
The old fan creaks
Strange shadows dance
A small boy skulks in a corner
SeethingThe old fan
creaks
Flies sluggishly dance
A bob white calls
The woman pauses
Listening
The old fan creaks
Old knuckles crack
A small boy stands behind the door
Grinning
The trees wait
The air waits
Birds twitter nervously
The moon waits
The sky waits
Hope cracks like thunder
The room waits
The night waits
The sun winks redly going down
The old fan creaks
The door slams
A small boy leaps forward
Eternity waits |
