I saw her across the street, blonde hair, bronze summer skin long legs she wore her crooked glasses and her smile A black jacket and blue jeans ripped at the knees by natural causes Some people just glow in any weather, I think that when the sunshine gets spilled on them they never let it go. long fingers hold science fiction books like stray puppies When she speaks Her hands move with a life of their own, they spin worlds like grandmothers spin tapestries, she takes the fabric of the time she passes through and makes it a masterpiece. In my mind she is a time traveler She's a 1920's jazz singer, a wartime hero, a ballroom dancer, an astronaut She believes in a better world and she is it see it in her eyes Cherry jubilee ice-cream in her hand offered to me I can't help but grin. Instinctual reaction, like you squint your eyes in a spotlight.
I'm sad because she'll never see me how I see her as sunshine I can't hold her but I don't know how to let her go
Walking around town together Musician on the park bench notes of an acoustic guitar beads of water on her skin and the wind kicks up, the snowflakes don't settle but dance like dust motes who found salvation. Minarets who touch the music we can't hear speak it through a motion and a whisper brush across the pavement and the leaves I feel them touch me body and soul I maybe, just for a moment am the wind. Gale in from the Pacific, race over the green valleys, batter the blue tinged purple mountains of the west, through the golden motes and sunbeams of late evening caress shivering aspens and high mountain pines All the way until I reach my outstretched fingers, and slip right through. Much like you, my darling.
