Two

Two trunks beside
A steamengine
Fret not for sturdy
Arms in sepia tones
Arrive
To embrace the fragile
(whatever happens - remember i am here)
(what will happen?)
Moments in tumult
Little boats capsizing
(nothing - but the anticipation of anything that you can't describe can be solved by knowing that worst comes to worst there is someone that will solve it for you)
(i was watching you yesterday)
Straight again
In lamplight
(last night, i looked at you in the mirror)
The sea changes its breeze
(besides the love - you have a friend in me that sits beside and worried when you worry and rests on the moments of your happiness)
And sharp dots of rain
Speckle worried brows
Ironed straight in time
And time remains
Two trunks lay beside
One another
And arms and lonely hands grip collars
Unmoving for trains, planes, or whims
Stay still like a photograph
(this about us)
Turning and yellowing evenly
On each corner
And the lovers kiss over and over
But the trunks sit up
In the rain
Beside each other.
