Description
my heart lies in a mountain townsomewhere between maryland and tennessee
wrapped in the music of a basement show
resting at the bottom of a cold crisp beer
my heart is in my hands keeping time
meeting, repeating, and cracking with joy
pounding at the ceiling so it becomes a drum
sounding out the revelry of this hoarse and sweaty love
my heart is in the tongues of this rowdy midnight family
singing their surrender to a bearded melody man
who keeps giving us the reasons to carry on 'til dawn
or at least until the cops come to cut us down
my heart lies in a mountain town
somewhere between five at night and morn
glowing with coffee and the sweet delirium
of knowing i'll come back again even if i have to go

I googled "Harrisonburger" because I'm a student at JMU that thinks there should be a burger joint with that name.
Instead I found your poem and I am immensely pleased that I did. Your words remind me of many nights of basement bodies, beer, and the best of times.
Thank you.
