today is just a cloud, a smoggy OC blue bird in the dust.
I touch the shoulder,
so many dead people that I could cry. another neck to weep on, another back to caress, another cheek to kiss, another hand to hold--- we walk back to the hill.
dawn in the early hours.
my first kiss, your big green eyes, in the stars, I hold you tight and the sun smiles.
I walk back so happy, and the car coughs, and the house just laughs. I want to be somewhere else. I want to be where the leaves don't turn brown, in the ashen fall.
behind the gray fog, where love isn't just a meme, where love isn't just a word,
a word for shmucks. I want to feel again. feel your heartbeat;
but for now I count to ten and there's no-one to blame.
back to the street clogged adolescent suburbia. buy what you can, fill what can't be filled, you are still here
