If you call, I’ll respond:
“Dear?” “Yes, dear,”
You are as still as a quiet pond,
“I’m here.”
You can wake me to inform me about your nightmares
“Like it was playing on a loop…”
Did we ever bury our time capsule?
“I just kept running.”
Not into the ground, I hope…
“In and out of sleep,”
I see you in my dreams.
“And then you were there, with a motorcycle.”
And a whole lotta road to stretch out on
“Our bed sheets blew like capes in the wind”
And, the moon perched itself upon the sea
“I woke up before the end.”
