I came cold, down the stair-escape
with eyes low enough to sink the sailing giddy
of all those listeners
high on his voice

I am that low

swarming you and I
choking in waves

Are we crying
more outwardly than we imagine?

Ordinary sailors
ordinary sickness
of the wait til next fleshy hold

(my hands still sting
from the applause)

But I find you with them
at the exit

and the sight of the golden horizon
your locks only-dry within the wind
fresh sunshine sails upon the sea of heads
had me stolen-cargo
into the arms of you

exqisite young breath in my ear

I would like to have told you
as you looked at me and shook-paler than before

I really did wish you were there next to me
in the intimate dark

watching his face in the spotlight
singing every song that reminds me of you.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul
