Quietus

you sang in the swell
coruscating with such
ordinary colors of the coast
the champaign fielding neighborhoods
where you’ve come to know contentment
in cataracts and torrents
coalescing summer songs with
new partners for slumber
in spite of this i am beside myself
and despite this you are the same without me
in spite of this i am beside myself
and despite this you are the same without me
you belong further in
winter body
i was meant to keep you warm
please come home
winter body
i was meant to keep you warm
please come home
winter body
please come home
but i am anchored
because i can not contain you
