don't open the locket; everything's spoiled by the air and light

whatever you found out there
it's enough to keep you quiet
not just at the arrival gate
but as we pop the trunk
clunk up cement steps
unlock and relock

the west has a pull on you
and you've lost the struggle
a one-way flight this time
more shipped boxes than luggage
the most i get to remember you by
are orange slices on twine
