Ironic Love Hymn Accompanied by a Strange and Lonely Haiku Do you remember the well last night where we were closer than ever except for the petty times? We were like two yellow canaries in a cage. Our songs made for each other. I threw a quarter down into the deep chamber that time and made a wish Did you hear or was the splash loud enough that everything else just faded away? I think it was dark and the moon was up, but your eyes look like two big gemstones in the lunar bath. Circling up there over the craters is where my mind goes on these nights when we're just watching. It's hard to see how they call it such a desolate rock. It's too much to be a simple rock. Too many dreams live there, too many futures are staked upon it, that think we call "la luna" But if I watch up too long I might miss the now and it'd be then but the past is what we live the future for. so maybe I'm deluded but right. There was a flower growing last night where we were laying, a single one, purple and yellow and rainbow and I picked it and gave it to you not knowing that out of its home it would fade away. I wanted to see Boston. I wanted you to come. We'd claim the world, and then our hearts, but the flower faded and you faded and I knew, I don't need Boston anymore. ------------------------- ------------------------- irony is when emotion is not from experience |
