arrangements and alabaster

sitting down, slowly at day's end everything that comes close to this feeling is locked loudly inside the pearly gate the smooth legs and everywhere it matters is left laying hoping for something we can pray to yearning for something we can mean more than "how are you?" or "what's your name?" and maybe (if we're luckier than irishmen) we'll find out what it takes to what it means to what it's like to be everywhere at once and lean only back when the wind tells us so
these archway causes left out to rot and everything else we have (these things i ponder here, sitting slowly at day's end) and with this: a hierarchy of feelings and knowings and growth is only one slow day away.... this this
this this
this
is our love waiting outside moving outwards every day is coming closer to where we used to be where we should be and how much sooner than yesterday can we get there how much faster than storms can we arrive (like we do every single time) before
the sun rages will you answer?
where do we keep the strange palaces of our history and how finely the threads may seem but fall fall so quickly apart and why not? they're only made of dreams, but we've got life we've got life just now and coming at us faster than speeding drunkards behind the wheel
(let's get it right, right?)
and there, inside the guitar throb is every sound we've ever heard in bed and here, inside the backbeat is each day each day we let slip through our fingers and at what cost at what cost does a thing begin to just suck at your soul?
enough is too much most of time
but walls, so i told you about them once before and you were sure to nod at just the right places and that's what most of us want more than anything else...
(you made for a good friend)
but i need so much more so much so that you can't climb through my clouds and i know that like every story you'll end up hating the best worst parts of me and forgetting the upsides the upsides (however down they are)
and: as soon as it happens everything good will be gone.
