lyrics
May sun on Maradana road, the mango cart sat still The bus stop emptied out by noon, the tar was hot as steel Your suitcase wheels made tracks in dust, you took the last train south I bought two Ceylon iced coffees, then watched the station mouth Fort wind folded my shirt sleeves Ceiling fan cut slow circles above me Your names kept fading off the board But my key still fit that door I stayed I stayed I stayed I stayed Every Sunday at Pettah, the fish stall closed at one The ice in the white crate melted by the time I got home The balcony held a blue plastic chair, one chipped cup, one plate I heard the rain hit the zinc roof, and I stayed up late I stayed I stayed I stayed I stayed August came with empty lanes, kites caught in the wire I shook the dust from the window latch, let in the harbor choir Your group chat filled with beach-day pics, mine had the fan and spice I kept the kettle on the flame, I kept the room half-light I stayed I stayed I stayed I stayed
