I’d gladly leave the lights of the city
for the sounds of these nights
Still learning, but for this one thing,
I’ve seen enough
Knife to the chest, ears to the ground,
can you hear it, too?
I’m not always here, but I’d still make a space and clear her way
Do you know the value of a life?
Its beautiful blue horizons smothered
in deep velvet pockets, my neat assembly
of her counterfeit smiles
I’d abandon her;
beautiful safe creation,
offer her being to the next moon
For the entire distance that light travels,
I’d throw her soul,
bown marrow on fire,
dance with mercy and silence
on her full-blooded flower grave
Blinded by less than a light-year, she’d soon
be weightless,
do you know?
For the sounds of these nights,
I’d transport her between countries
and lines
Through tides and winds it takes time
and no time at all to be wise
I’ve seen enough, been put to the test,
these nights, I promise,
are all that we have
