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?
