DUST


This is some spell, I can see my breath tonight.
It's like a huddle of dust holding hands. Days wander time.


In walks midnight.


If somebody asks, I will stay in just one place.
I will leave clear as I found, out the way I came.
Like wings growing down, my roots explore her clouds.
We will take the hard way out.


In walks midnight.
In walks midnight.


Somewhere between us and all of our sequin dreams,
and our lists of favorite things,
my heart plays a trick on me.


Inside lives out hale of mist,
on top of lists I'll never list.
Nothing there, there always is.
Must have just imagined all of it.


In walks midnight.


Phone going dead in my hand. I am holding on.
The bow breaths deep in newborn company.
How quick we forget what we learned
from the last time and the time before.
Am I losing sight of sight?
Did I imagine right?


Inside lives out hale of mist,
on top of lists I'll never list.
Nothing there, there always is.
Somehow I imagine all this.
