Site-Seeing

Site-seeing you more than I ever imagined Scream-singing most of this music for you now As though to hide the obvious choice That you are there and I am nowhere Systematically gypsying my way across America slowly Wondering why wandering with so much conviction Is making me more tired than bards ever bargained for Drunkenly as these soul-deals are often made The truth of what makes me strong alone and weak Together sand-stoning the edges of this picture of you So sharp and spread out in several rooms I imagine you are shaming me in this car Traveling circus I am so inside wide-eyed Chasing chalkdustcould blind Asking risk with me please Question only that which holds you Too close to this fire to let you breathe And leave the rest to summer's death As forests burn and creatures die So angels form and spirits rise and Phoenix-like I will prize what is Most patiently waited for Eyes closed I pray for more Time to be side by side and laughing Childlike asleep and singing Time to be side by side and laughing Childlike asleep and singing
