She touched her inner sleeve
maybe its time she lost her footing
whether the winter could ease itself
onto a small tethered road

She was Sandy's little cousin
even if the night said
its heart was the fields open dreams

Her pants tied around her waist
under the mix of the night
its left eyes touched her breasts
maybe the corners of her hands
could cuff the tears from
his gritty face, one last time

She could touch the rain
but only if the drops
understood that it was her chance
to stare back at the small ease
of a mans hand pledging his hand
against her heart
for the lies aren't worth the change of time

Its never tears before the fall
never onto the grounds heart
or that airless gasp
stroking the back of her throat
under the slope of the snows end

She's coming home tonight
and her hair might fall seamlessly
onto the edge of her pillow

For its time that she loses her lips tonight
but only if her heart
decides to move towards his hand
through the coarse night
