We Agreed

beyond the sky where the dark has no light
nighty-night, I know I couldn’t get to you
put your old canoe on the wharf to dry under your new moon
in outer space I will find a good place
for the dried pawpaw and wahoo, too
have a home brew on the wharf tonight when I sing about you
ode to the leaves lay me on the moon
skipping a stone on a lake they had cloned
I’m inclined to do what I’m going to do
put what’s left of you in the water in spite, but I wouldn’t have to
we agreed that life keeps on going
a reach we’ll never be knowing
the price-all the presently lonely and doomed
no earth to turn, no blubber to burn breath new life elsewhere or else we lose
ancient lyre or a poison device
glaciers retired
beyond the sky where the dark has no light
nighty-night, I know I couldn’t get to you
have a home brew on the wharf tonight under your new moon
we agreed that life keeps on going
a reach we’ll never be knowing in truth
we agreed that life keeps on going
a reach we’ll never be knowing
always and forever foregoing
the price-all the presently lonely and doomed
