I wish I could tell youI didTell youAnd youStillDoNotKnowIt still has been a year you do not knowI could tell you and you will never know
Powder blue doves you sing so sweetly in the Spring
Over oceans I do hear a ringIngIngIng-ing
Your chalkness I adoreIf could give you a screen of mineWould you take timeIf i couldIf i could
How brown your eyes weep my dreams intoPillows tear at the seems
Sing
Just a song
In spring time you weep dutifully mending the tulips for late May
NayMidMaySayFirstThe first of May.
Stars I yearn for your eyes
I yearn for your eyes aligned against mine
Tending to garden togetherForever
But mostly in the summertime
Outside the moonTonightThe leaves they said to me the ones on the tree outside my window.
That you and IShall bee
Shall be
Shall be
Until lightning stoke struck the tree crisp of the trunk
You see
As I see
I sunk deeper into a hole made of polyesterAnd in my fetal position my kneeIndentedA foamed memory
Did it
Did
My socks a whole rippedMy mind skipped to an astronaut in spaceOn the moon a danceOn the moon a manMaybeMaybe
I entered your body of water and ended up swallowedUpwhole
I remained a spec of hair on a sweatshirt for awhileBored gamesA puzzle piece incouched
From planets you ascendedFrom a painting at the Met
When our eyes metMy eyes wept white a puddleCentered green on the lost and found
Between the spaces my heart tracesDoes your heart endow in casesDoes yours do just the sameI do hope so
Swallowed deep a key me in my dispensary
Unlock the doors for me I thirst a tiny songOf morning dewI bid to youFor the morning in I shall be gone
Of my favorite poets playwrightsMy fies all a game
Open my mind and take a dipA teeny tiny sip
Of broken wardsPillow fortsCandied barns of sage and mint
You move in brush stokesSeems renowned
Chills up my vines when your aroundSilenced wind cool to the soundOfOfOf
My love is bound to you weekly in feathered threads fabric not mine to keep
Pickled itches tied dreams tied up up in laceSailing somewhere out in space
When my watch beeps every hourI am grateful for being
Maybe I can’t let you because you are my blue
I a clover
You the wall
Music And
Bounce And
Bounce
That’s all.
