tie your heart at night to mine, love,
and both will defeat the darkness
like twin drums beating in the forest
against the heavy wall of wet leaves.
?
night crossing: black coal of dream
night crossing: black coal of dream
that cuts the thread of earthly orbs
with the punctuality of a head
long train that pulls cold stone and shadow endlessly.
love, because of it, tie me to a purer
movement,
to the grip on life that beats in your breast,
with the wings of a submerged swan,
so that our dream might reply
to the sky’s questioning stars with one key,
one door closed to shadow. 'pablo neruda'

cause I like to be gone most of the time
and you like to be home most of the time
if I stay in one place i lose my mind
i’m a pretty impossible lady to be with
