Shivering on a warm night

signal it’s time to escape.

Run where the cold still suprises you
lights dim to your will instead

of oppression.

Find me. Find me standing
under this light I power

with my will and I’ll share it

with you. Just be brave to leave
the shivering heat.

We followed your clay

as boys and girls on a crowded moon.

We came for the cheese and left

with your dream.

 

I can finally see through your eyes

weary and dreamy

looking for your love.

As you rest

 

know this, I’ll save this

Provolone through my final

days for my love,

my future Grommet.

 

RIP, Thank you for the wonderful tale.

He told me I earned this title

like the soldier on foreign land.
I never asked for your blessing;

your knighthood. I was fine
under my cloak walking through

crowded hall blending to the wall
like old gum. He saw though.

Something I didn’t realize I was seeking
and he put the compass in my hand,

guided me across these trenches.
He knew I needed a squad, and I,

it’s untested general. I didn’t 
earn this name but I’ll wear the

badge on my chest as a blessed scar. 

The one we needed and we never

acknowledge it until it’s too late. Freedom

gives birth to bliss on a summer
afternoon cliff for the people to watch

in a small box with our feet on a coffee

table. You weren’t the first and 
we will remember your crusade

by singing that fine jingle on last time:

Nananananananana nananananananana
RIP~

We watched a young boy build a sandcastle. Trenches

wide and deep to keep the uninformed out. Towers high as his shoulder to stop the catapult attacks

to his heart. I can see his face filling this trench. The final

touch, a flag, of all colors at the highest point. We walked over with a piece of bark

for a drawbridge and said, “can’t keep them out forever.”

We met once,

under the same roof

same game

singing the same chants.

 

Encore over night

constellation built around

your Voiced dreams.

I can hear you,

 

you sang you were invisible

but I saw you-

I wasn’t the only one.

Tears fall on this day

 

the last day your soothing

dream lifted our ears-

my ears

over the years.

 

We met once,

under the same roof

same game

and I’ll never forget.

 

RIP~
