EDGE OF SOMETHING REAL

to the days, the endless days
the early air and old t-shirts
I do believe that we were endless those days

if I could wrap you in my arms and tell you everything is going to be okay
if I could take you to coffee and listen with my whole heart
if I could walk through your neighborhood and share the heart of God

if I could go without food and sleep
if I could enter empty spaces and watch them fill
if I could dance and shout in the blue light

if I could carry a binder and shoes in the same hand
if I could run like a child and tag you
if I could sit beside you when you're all alone

I have so much love for you, I want you to know that

MORNING RUNWAY

but i'm not lonely, see, i have the dreams --

OTHERWHERE

tears climbing up into my hair
warm gold waterfall

a mind like a camera obscura
all upside down and backwards

-----

I have questions, but I don't know what they are.
refract and relate and retain
crying, laughing, kissing me
I swim

dreams never really leave.
I listen intently
to words spoken on one side of my head.

like curtains we are

otherwhere
