A Road Love Lullaby 090110

Slide through the light

ignite the hairs

of your underbelly

on my dreaming smile

I'm lost for you.

You are bubble love

pulled taunt

through strings in the air

lengths of my hair

Bass pounding the beaches

of the entire planet.

We will drive them all

Tomorrow

I will breathe fog from my breast

and you will sleep

upon the cold morning ground

The broken salt of sand

a million grains painting

with hazy eyes- distracted

by the drifting of your ocean

I will swim and you will take photographs.

You will drive as I sleep on your shoulder.

I'll feed you the horizon in California

the Earth itself in Oregon

and the stars back home

in Washington.

They will pass

one by two

from my parted hands

through your open mouth

and I will alternate kisses

until your dreams overflow

But you'll never

be full.

1,2oo rolling miles

and my hand will never fill

of yours

for we are the perfect fit.

I never knew I was missing

until your pieces fell with mine

and now- I will only be whole

beside you.
