Blue, the light of my aquarium Til you appeared Stradivarian Cherubim teaming and tracing the lilt of your neck Nimble the thimble that connected each fleck, fiber, and glimmer A tremble that grew to a tremor, untangled Spidered my center Wound through my inner thoughts, an amethyst Stammered through winter Searching my caverns' glow for confidence Grasping at language Thought I was just another stranger in a Hopper painting Pounding back another glass of bitters But just as night returns to day There's something coming my way Not to me but through me A feeling I'm moving, feeling I'm choosing The questions dance away and leave me woozy, yet soothe me The scene, it woos me The question who's she? And who speaks, the first to smile The first to laugh, the first to glance I find myself floating towards her with an olive branch All that I am, is screaming man, you never had a chance But then again, I never took it I've been under rocks, been under stones, to find Lillies of the field, September, dragonflies I'm taking my time, seeking one who knows What I can't hide, What's on my mind I just came in here to pass the time And buy a glass of wine and ponder You just looking at me funny And I'm thinking 'what he want from me?' Can see him waiting for the perfect time to come to me No second chances, if you really want it Own it Plus my drink is empty Run it Put your card out Got it If you wanna ditch this scene let's do it We ain't getting older Look at me stuck in my ways Catching stranger gazes Watch you gotta say I don't wanna know I just wanna flow I just wanna dance upon the pole Watch the dollars go You just really need to spit it out I can second that If I pushed myself up on you now Could you throw it back Guess I see you in another lifetime baby cuz I just wanna see you in your right mind baby boy You just miss this punana Knowing me will have a - think he won the lotto Is it so? I've been under rocks, been under stones, to find Lillies of the field, September, dragonflies I'm taking my time, seeking one who knows What I can't hide, What's on my mind The tintinnabulation of excavation through conversation Seismic gravitation of planets breaking the silence Our horizons now face to face and reverberating patience Is upended by phoenix visions ascending through my attentions Two glaciers melting Glasses klink—lean in to speak She whispers in my ear, brush my hair, gives me a wink Slinking to me closer, now she puts her hands on my knees I'm an icicle, it's like riding a bicycle Now I can't tell you all that happened after happenstance Cause everything inside me froze I couldn't even stand Or if that moment was an oyster with a pearl of chance What the truth is, or if I took it?
