the happiness of being twice

you walk to the park as the setting sun

and sit as a stone til the day is done

you build us a house from sticks and shrubs

and huddle inside til i come home

there's a saying where i come from

no mistake is truly wrong

as the hole in my heart is where you fit

your casual limbs inside my ribs

that's what we call life

for the first time i can feel tonight

that's how we fall light

that's why we share life

for the happiness of being twice

half of a flawed kite

come and catch me

i'm razor-like in half-sleep

try and find me

i'm deep in the shallows

you can save me from the throes

of winter nights in summer clothes

you can have my life, my rose

for feathers and hallways

and you teach me still

and you hold me dear

you unleash my will

and you always find me here
