i want: an elbow-crook to rest my head
a cigarette to share,
naked forms in riverbeds
and universal train fare.
i need: breastplate percussion under my ear,
a breathing on my spine,
a sunrise built -- my eyes to sear,
and send me to my sign.

i want: an elbow-crook to rest my head

naked forms in riverbeds
and universal train fare.
i need: breastplate percussion under my ear,
a breathing on my spine,
a sunrise built -- my eyes to sear,
and send me to my sign.
to a boy named sam because i never got to say mine
