ONE LIGHT LEFT IN QUARANTINE ROW
I bring the tray and set it down
Outside the door with the blackout crown
No name no sound no place to go
Just one light left in Quarantine Row
The others flickered out last June
Or maybe March its hard to tune
But that one glow keeps holding on
Like breath that hums when the world is gone
One light left in Quarantine Row
One soft hum where the echoes go
If youre still breathin tap the wall
Ill sing again come protocol
Your file said Low Response Stage 3
But files dont mean a thing to me
Ive heard you cough Ive heard you pray
Ive heard you hum that song some days
They tell me leave the food and run
Dont wait too long dont talk to one
But if youre still in there alone
Youre more alive than most Ive known
One light left in Quarantine Row
I dont ask much I just let you know
If I get sick or shift below
Youll still have this song
and the radio
