RIDE WIT ME

take my hand & put it in yr pocket

it is so nice to be here w/ you

the sun is always shining somewhere

i say when it's dark

catch my mane as it feathers to the ground

i am shedding years of winter

spinning pine needle beard nested

yr neck around my neck

is what i would like to say i say

i am bathing for you on the rooftop

w/ my mind wording the moon closer

it would take a massive wave

to take me off my course of surfing

i am highly

& i am moon reflecting

more than a face pummeled by space boulders

drugged & drug across the sidewalk

on jaw & nerves

don't forget to say hello to my nerves

numb pinch of celebration sparklers

touching me in the sleet storm

as i run away from fears in the forest

i would dive into lightning sand

to save you if that every came up

in the future as you ask for my hand

bc it's cold & i don't give a care

abt weather but would talk wind

to you abt any standstill right now

is a song in my mind as i never sleep

dreamed w/ my eyes abt every

molecule of air that passes through

lungs & back through the air

& trees take poison from yr mouth

& turn it into something good for me

or anyone to use & give back

i mean the whole life ahead of me

is an ocean & i have barely left

the beach because i am so scared

of sharks who still have their teeth

& salt water is in my eyes & mouth

& i can still feel the sun burning my

skin & waves hit me over & over

in my mind i am playing this story

of who i am or some idea of a person

i seem to be based on every wave

that has ever slapped me around

she too a roaming buzz

up from my knees to my chest & rattling

heaved sky always on top of our heads

touch me

at once we are going the same way

from earth we know & far off

my eyes can't even see despite health

but i am there any time you ask

paint my morning face on lunar smiling

& surround it w/ 100 feet of bomb proof glass

or 100,000 feet of bomb proof glass

or 100,000,000 million feet of bomb proof glass

i need lightyears of dancing blackness

to hide my glow from you

my name is sinking in depths of crushing

i am a wave too

slowly going the way of my quickness
