the nights grow long
in summer
in sauk rapids
minnesota
an empty pocket book
put on a corner on main street
she was standing across the street
watching
laughing
smirking
and this is how I met Sarah
a storm of unshed tears
in the stillness of her eyes
but that smile sweet
sweet smile
and you know
you re her only one
and after 4 weeks
in sauk rapids
we knew each others secrets
the midges danced
above the field of wheat
"just say that you love me," she says.
and she began unbuttoning her red flannel shirt
and after
we climbed the town water tower naked
and howled with the wolves
captured in that moment
of sunlight fading
she taught me
all I'd ever need to know...
...I see you sitting beneath the dog wood tree,
whispering leaves
falling all around you
and you are humming softly
the chiming of church bells is calling
we ll meet again at the end of time
my love
and walk across the sun
