anytime you ask.
anytime
anytime
shall i wave it now?
or wait for later?
by the time i do,
night will have
fallen.
you're too faraway
to see me surrender.
so i'll do it by daylight,
& claim it was courage.
as we drain the sky of darkness
i wanted to ask you
i wanted to ask you
can you drive a little faster so i can stop pretending?
the road is shooting stars & we
can't leave it all for them.
c r e e p i n g
& crawling,
i'm not going
to reach you.
but that's okay.
i've got one
million more
fascinations to
muse&muse over.
i really love the way you speak
about anything, anything. it
makes me feel like
curling up in
your armchair
forever&ever.
((eating your food
forever&ever))
as you make another
elegant observation,
you pull me down
to earth. we'll sever my
kitestrings & i'll spend
all of time
dancingtalkinglaughing
with you.
i want to be
down here tonight.
beginning to
suspect that
flying is over-rated.
who cares about flying
when i've got friends like you?
((hello jo. hello rose.))
i broke my plans &
promises today.
i feel so fine
that it really
does not matter.
no, not at all.
are you becoming
just-a-little-bit
obsessed?
don't think i'm not afraid
don't think i'm not afraid.
where did you place the witching hour? i'll hunt it down & pin it to the world. we can stay here forever. we can stay here forever. if i'm leaving you, please tell me. tell me how to fix it. i can't live like not-knowing. i know & i don't know what to do.
tangerine clouds are exposing all the trees tonight. there's an outline where the city should be. i'm finding the ghost of you all over the carpet, & i don't know whether to laugh or tell a lie.
i'm pressing
on the place
where my paper-cut
should be.
have you already returned?
i should ask you
about the breeze.
