Sunlight and Ease

How do you pull yourself up from imploding pick up the pieces and super glue fingers back onto hands which have shattered in dreaming all that a moment of laughter can stand? How do you separate time from occurrence shoulder the limelight while wearing a shadow just like a coat over thin skinned security shivering while pushing the moment to end? I am not one built for flimsy odd wizardry zipping out one skin to zip up the next When someone's got something to say then just say it for heavier words make for lighter of chest You are not one built for unguarded glances bright in the sun where each eye scar can show You hold the world like a marble in pockets a depth of deception that both of us know So how do you find every morsel of body you had before I came in storms through your door shooting your countenance up to the rafters and leaving you scattered and just wanting more? How do you whisper 'good-bye now, I'm leaving' pack up your goods and tiptoe with the breeze which blew in at once at the moment we met and continues to set you in sunlight and ease?
