I am going to take her to Alberta
It is the last song that ever danced for me
To the lake LOUISE
A star for a star for sure
Mov'in Day is a great tune
With no lone wanderings
Silence is alive to help me out

AI Interpretation
Alberta, Lake LOUISE, stars, moving day, and living silence shape this page into a spare departure lyric.
The handwritten `LOUISE` insertion makes the lake specific without smoothing the page into travel writing. The poem moves outward, but its music remains bruised: the last song, no lone wanderings, and silence alive as reluctant company.
A short lyric of departure — taking her to Alberta, silence as company, mov'in day as a tune — economical where the surrounding pages are dense.
