Denver

27thApr. × ’08

Clear spaces and blue skies
ain’t no place for a city girl’s mind
so tonight I’m just a dot on the skyline
flying back to where we might lie
and feel closely less alone again.

There’s little to trust in going slow
I need reminders—go, go, go
dodge this, fix that, me first, you last
unanswered open ended questions too vast
without alleys and cats
cries of echoes incomplete out here
too much space,
not enough near.

So what if I want a someone who knows
I need it back,
that I’m not crazy
expecting things to happen fast?

I’m just from where sunup starts
the night before
where sleep is like a conference call
all this doing and little being heard

I’m very near deaf already
so you’re gonna have to scream
if you want me,
I’m ready.
