All of the petty
trying dreams that I had
they had left my hangin' by the spot I stood
and the heart that I had
forgotten
about

I remember driving away
for a
really long time
and staying up
for a
really shallow thought


Someday i'll find you
out there in the sand
jumpin' all around
in a space that sews the tides
and forgives the 'lone & tired
in a space that speaks of love
and little things that go your way.

How spacious this room
I only realized just now
how empty this hallway
with a sudden low sound
how forgotten this couch
how unplugged this thing
& how i wish it were the same
as a couple years ago, this spring.
