I want to go where you roam and dance in the woods
pull my spine from the ground like you knew that you would
arching toward light in the beginnings of night
open your soul to where you think we could go

are kind eyes enough to light up this love
the feeling of you pressed down from above
hip bones connecting, impressions so new
brushed by the nights so far and so few

will this be worth all the strain and the mess
the effort so thin, drawn together by pen
watching the stars in the deep backyard sky
unsure if this is already awry

fill me from the top
the head, the knot
lead me to the line
of the pristine and the prime
introduce me so free
under the spineless pine tree
expecting me to find my home once again

poignant and pointing
this is what you will be
second inward from the left
free, you will see

well rounded and fresh
garnished with a ring
growing openly
soon, you will be

deer eyed doe eyed
tell me what you mean
eyes wide summer side
tell me all you need
finding the signs
in the strum of the night
bend my body in the line of the light
take me away from the lanterns so bright
keep me warm in the comfort of the night
skin so close we're the first to fly
alone and high in the midnight sky

september is over
as flowing with water
ebbing tides, endless rides
lightening skies with the darkening tribes

october draws near
feeling far from the clear
the fall of love, the call above
not knowing if home is here or there

when you look at the ocean,
what do you see?
are you overwhelmed by the strength
of the saltwater tides?

I'm diving inside your ocean alive

weave me into the sky
signal through smoke
winding from the sea to the trees
raining ashes over me

the sand is the sign
warming beneath the treeline
waiting out the current
to carry me away
