& why spend our few hours counting scrapes & bruises, pebbles rained along the shale? what's a wound - hell, what's a body? o may our lives be overcome in uncertainty, this i pray - in the quiet green light our presence grows beneath our skin, the lengthening shadows won't make me warm - burn off the moss & the leaves & come home come on. the trees grow still, cling to cliffs in our blood a gift of iron & snow that our bodies won't touch & comfort exists, but what about unlearning dread? & where is our border, why shouldn't we spend our cells to the wind as if we were infinite? our hearts do not grow dry in the sun. they warm & flutter in the hand. you know not to squeeze, that the bones are as brittle as birds, but the walls & secrets are so much to bear - come on friend, come on. the light is there.

walked all day around this familiar place knowing you were somewhere calling my name getting cold & the summers start to slip down the banks we're both thinking of things that have slipped through our hands & i would not have left you that night but you said "it's always the things we don't do we regret" & they didn't come to take me away they just told me that something was waiting for me so i packed up a bag it ran out before long & a quiet young girl said she'd follow me home then i woke up alone with the world in my head it's just so hard to move when you're not where i'm at

rain on the lenses of our eyes drew ghosts we held and let go, & beneath the tracks the river rolled on - thunder & wine, how the lightning in my eyes caught & kept & knew but i didn't know you anymore & you didn't recognize my scent but when the rain came the sound washed into my mouth & out & all the words that wouldn't go down - in the end it was so simple, you took my bags inside, & i had to follow how hard i used to try to turn away from you your memories, our eyes closing on the lit horizon fingers wound & interwoven, but all that you or anyone could do & all the flesh in the world & all the lips & hips & come-hither tongues can't encompass my less-than-perfect-need perfectly - & don't have to. (the world is not a ruler or a key) & i knew this from the very first walking home, half drunk on hips & words that our lips never spoke - i knew but i guess that i just wanted to close my eyes for awhile.
