watch the sea
run by me
and I'll say
I'll say it
I'll say it.
listen to the hum
of the headlights
on the highway
and try for one night
to be me.
a shadow breathes
still in the stem
of a marigold
that wants to go.
what life does
a hand holding a hand have?
as lovers for all time
we end songs
and I'll say it
something
the thing
everything.
