We are here, this is now
Things are just as they are
The unmade bed, the dried flowers
I look at you
Oceans of your eyes
Lash like waves
On the shores of my life
I was a mermaid once,I will say
I used to watch you
Setting the sails of your ship
You will smile an indulgent smile
And then?you will ask,
How long did you watch?
The span of twelve full moons,
I would whisper into your ears
I waited,washed with melancholia
Searching the seven seas
Then I found you,shipwrecked
Washed ashore, unconscious.
All things to be said
Have been said
Except for some things
You will say tomorrow
Your nicotine stained fingers
Reach for the lamp
We are here,this is now
