First Sight

With her mouth making movements

To introduce thoughts i sat

Deafened by trust on that sofa across

Quietly calculating

The logistics of lust

Of when unspoken things couldn't

Happen between us and once

All those were done and we got

Through love we would

Shoot through the hip reacting

Off of the cuff splitting

Up at the fork when the going got rough

With a plan

For a point to rejoin on the road further up

Our windows thin where the ice

Carved its flowers i would

Hold her let the wind beat

Back those hours and then

Standing on subway trains

Clutching her dress

Dependent

On her balance

Since the walls were useless

And while it's

Alright to hold tight

Please don't try to hold on

Cos it's a

Homerun we hit love

Cos it's going and gone

And then the world turned so fast

It was astoundingly still

And it must have been that moment

Made of midnight on the hill

Right when the

Cataraxed alleycat

Spat back at the moon throwing out

Into the night time nine

Life times too soon

We had

Come such a ways

And knew just what he meant

There's a picture of the three

Of us at the gate

To the garden of eden

You can get home

But you can't get in

Locks are like longing

An everchanging thing

And keys are just clouds made of metal and spark

We knew exactly who we were and yet

Couldn't quite say who we still are

I saw it all hapenning in one grand epic sweep

From that

First sight that we wouldn't

Get to sleep for a week

And generations would follow

The course that we'd charted

From that sofa across

I couldn't

Wait to get started
