Lost in Space

Kindercreek, buried in sand
Let’s pretend it’s a day on the beach
My brother’s pulled under
Swept away by the strength of the stream
And though you pulled me from a well
It’s like the drowning stayed in my place
And an empty part of the water
contains a new kind of space
when it seemed like my heart was a candle
when it seemed like my heart was a moon
our stomachs had never been closer
but i was ten thousand miles from you
and the good things were made of a burning
and the good things were made like a tide
and we run away from the water
but it licks our toes all the time
and i follow you down to the subway
and i follow your shadow all day
and i follow your heart and its beating
like i follow its melting away
something in these thoughts was buried in sand
when you died on a day in the spring
and the dirt pulled you under
but it prickled me under my skin
in the future we’ll be floating, lost in space
I will not remember the features of your face
or how we lost our paths and fell away into the ground
we’ll be floating, lost in space
I will not remember the features of your face
or how we lost our paths and fell away into the ground
we’ll be floating, lost in space
I will not remember the features of your face
or how we lost our paths and fell away
into the ground
