lyrics

it’s hard not to linger in lovely moments of
bouncing light off emerald eyes
conveying wavelengths of sea green lapping up
overflowing, all dried up

closer to memories I had already known
like a storybook I’d read once
closer to everything hiding under our heads
sharp and wild, dark and red

oscillating with the moon
slowly as a knot undoes itself
sinews threaded like cherry trees
hiding sweetness inside those leaves

i thought of nothing but this as you held my hand
on my chest you rest your head
the sand in your hair looked like all those swaying stars
above and glowing clear for us

when we rose there, when we walked
for a moment, we both paused
turning tops burning holes in the soft ground there
we held each other, we waited

oscillating with the moon
slowly as a knot undoes itself
sinews threaded like cherry trees
hiding sweetness inside those leaves

the dark of the sky pours down
the waves at our feet, not touching yet
the cold of the ground in flux
gently holding both of us
