embracing

Treasure to me and far away

I want you to come

I want you to stay -

Or maybe I can go.

I want to go elsewhere -

Remain where you are -

Elsewhere - and be your nobody;

There no one but you can find me.

And the

Sun's own shining moves over

Our hands, interlaced, all day, 

Closes its eye to fall asleep,

We collapse -

We embrace.

what I'm trying to do

To drive a hollow lane

With every shade of green and sun

To feel exactly this like that

Until my life is done

a note for Steph

The earth rolls all night and we're along for the ride.

My blue heart's in a bottle 

Bobbing along in a dreaming tide.

When the sun rises, chasing the moon,

I wake with a wish and send a kiss.

It follows the light from

Here and from me,

Over plains and mountains to you. 

flying to Colorado

dream I may

wish just right

fly to you

up, over the pines

soaring wingless

swimming, weightless

in our moon-washed sky

a birdcall in my pocket

bright stars in both my eyes
