i definitely told you at the right time
cold new lips i kissed you at the right time
two years on and i kissed the same place so many times
i lost count of how happy it made me.
i swallowed your tears in so many different lights
a waltzer of a moment, i heard **** jagger
i heard the melody of mens voices, i heard every key and every shift
dazzled and dizzy in light and dark and in mud and rain and
smudgy warmth
i heard a buzz so loud it turned into vision
and everything was a spinning top
i heard everything i’d ever heard and seen everything i’d ever seen
and i held your hand like i was about to get pulled away any second
in the avalanche
i saw your beautiful important face so many times
shouting at the sea, in the palm of my hand, in grass
in pillow, on the back of everybody i ever meet
in love i licked all the salt away every time
i couldn’t tell whether it was the rain or the sea spray or tears
and i thought about this every time we kissed
and i thought about how it didn’t matter to me at all
we lived in an electric moment that fizzled ultraviolet for half a second
and i painted that second
so i could prove to everybody i met
that it happened
that this is kind of how it looked
to be on the tip of a hurricane looking down at the chaos
and being happy just for the excuse
to hold hands
