Please, my sweet, don’t look into the sun
As it makes us all seem so frighteningly small;
Stare straight ahead-
The sheets are turned back on the bed,
And those voices you hear are just the silly
Drunk angels who live upstairs-
Don’t pay them any mind.

We live in a universe of circles, deep purple
Excess of desert island kings and queens held in check by
The turning of tides. Darling, quietly bide
Your time while I am gone: I’ll hear you
Breathing inside my own four walls.

I know that you’re sighing,
but don’t go crying over a
Foolish fool like me. These rolling spheres,
They make it back to where they start; we’ll never be
Apart, for the depth of a soul is not measured in miles.
