Blood in the sink

© 2021

It hurts to wake, and I don't just want to go to work

I just want merely to sleep, yeah, until the moons and stars are out

And then go play, feel the rain and sail away

Into the night - It's so dark, but we'll find our way

We…rely on hands to touch, replace my feeble sight

Dance on the roof, send all we have into the sky…

Cuts on my feet, they’re so sore

I walk you home to collapse at your front door

Carry me, inside your heart so warm

The bow breaks, make love to you till my body aches

We can't leave, not with so little time, and

So little breath, to catch before I catch a death

Sometimes I feel, like this is all a mirage

Awaiting rapture, staring at the stars

Come with me, we'll navigate infinity

And we’ll, put palm to branch

Traverse terrain intrepidly

Seasick love, my fingers, they tremble

clasp the basin, as sweat drips from my temples

I… Look in the mirror

My life to reassemble

Blood in the sink…
