Goodness Pt. 1

When the sun rested on olive shoulders

And the wind kissed the back of your neck

I would lay and absorb in the silence

In your language I haven’t learned yet

In the tune of the national anthem

Sing the words while the corrugate bursts

While our burning desires crackling

We exist in the unified verse

When your eyes became focused on absence

How the shadows were cast on the plane

Under moonlight of middle november

I was shifting to stay in the frame

I would eat from the tops of your branches

Spit it out, break a bough and descend

I would dream of the ways we get cradled

While this lullaby rings in my head

When this began

This was a thing

That we could both share

A bit of shade

The goodness fades

And we begin there
