I tried to be big here
I tried to be slim there
— your eyes go up and down
— your eyes go up and down —
on her, on them — me? I go here and there
and your eyes go up and down —
do you even see me?

I think I just want this to be clear: that,
I just want to come and stay, in a warm,
secure, and loyal place… love…

one for sorrow,
two for you,

sometimes I drink
sometimes I sleep

three for marriage,
four for us,

what about me?
what about me?

Don’t even go there —
won’t be alone there —
can’t we just stay right here
until the next dawn?
