I descry you doing so well
Daring eyes the door, don't it seem
That it's time to dully dispel
Yourself from me
Seem desperation's very own
Get out of jail free
Send your stowaways to me
I'll get them back on their feet
Fold up their crayon drawers and lean on a banister and
Watch them leave
I feel distance in our waters
A river splitting through our land
I feed its fish that simply aren't there as they Migrate 'cause they can
Every person has a purpose, personal universes
Put my poems in your shoebox, from my words you will divorce them
Of
The moments that they lust upon your face
In every space
From the quiet meadow walks we went
Even then began the race to escape your checkpoint
Gain dominion over your opinions
When asked of yours of me, you'll ask to that "who's he?"
Hold up stone etchings of fabled manicores and roll down your sleeves
The world wounds you in the same way the world wounds me
But you run to other courses as you bleed
I dwell my own thing on the bleachers and bleed
The way a circle never stops
And a glowing vortex forms
In your car we sat in park
Making memories we'll mourn
Immortality's a curse
Too much of anything can hurt
Our love with her just seems irrational
Yet with our ideas we flirt
Of knocking on her door
Taking her down to the beach
Collecting seaglass as I pant
While my eyes absorb the sea
We survived the same war
Condemn it as we sign the draft
Between us we kept such score
Sought sore for something back
Nothing back
We survived the same shot
Well, we survive the same blow
We both tackle her together
We both want her then forget her
The way a circle never stops
