My twisted grin
Clouds sail above
Below the surface love
Where do I begin?
I remember you
Loving life
like flowing honey
raw fish and whiskey
learning poetry
I wanted to stay
I was afraid
You said
don't let it get in the way
but I have never shaken like this before
Don't look away
The blush is gone
The cake is crums
sad that our hearts
are plums
in the unwinnable game
we love the money
but it makes no difference
to the flame
I get up before the sun
thirsty even then
go to the ocean
go to the mountain
go to the moon
and I will sing your song
until the blazing light rekindles dawn
and we will live
on and on and on and on and on
