Pouring in

POURING IN (E A D G B E)

The morning light is pouring in. I’m half awake, half unprepared. Have fun, I thought, as I walked outside.

The sun is up. It’s all we asked. You can count your toes. I can write a song. He can tie a knot better than anyone I know.

 

Empty like a breath. Weightless as my heart. Glowing like a stone in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the road. In the distance I see light. Shining for no one.

 

The afternoon is melting me. I’m half a man, half a glass of ice. I’m halfway there with nowhere to be.

Nowhere to be.

 

Rising like a cake. Setting like a good boy. Getting what I asked for because that’s how it works.

Don’t mourn my death. Don’t fear my life.

 

Don’t mourn my life. Don’t dear my death.

 

Empty like a breath. Weightless as my heart. Glowing like a stone in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the road. In the distance I see light. Shining for no one.
