mercy me, the night is long.
take my pen, to write you this song.
lord: is it harder to carry on,
or to know when you are done?
all my life, i’ve felt as though
i’m inside a beautiful memory,
replaying
with the sound turned down low.
long-life, show your face.
slow-heart, curb your taste.
smoke me out of my hiding place.
long-life, state your case.
what in the world are we waiting for-
building glowing cities along the shore,
where the wind batters,
baiting my kin like a matador?
so much value, placed upon
what lies just beyond our plans:
waving my handkerchief,
running along, till the end of the sand.
long-life, speak your name.
i’m so tired of the guessing game.
but, something is moving,
just out of frame:
lslow-heart,
brace and aim.
breaching slowly, across the sea,
one mast-
flash, like the stinger of a bee-
to take you away,
a swarming fleet is gonna take you
from me.
the universe is getting loose:
sodden spread,
from some leaden disuse,
rushing, unhinged,
towards diminishing lights,
like a headless caboose.
i’ll wait for you,
alongside the ocean,
and make do
with my no-skin.
but then, long-life,
will you let me in?
and then, slow-heart,
are you gonna know him?
long-life, speak your name,
i wait, while i decry the wait.
and when i die, may i relate:
slow heart, congregate.
to leave your home, and your family
for some distortion of property?
well, darling, i can’t go.
but you may stay
here, with me.
