Tiburon -

I hope you’ll remember

and that you don’t pull the anchor

too soon

I want to picture a familiar face

at a far and distant place

and I will paint a frame around it and leave it hanging there

waiting and staring

vanishing like the passion of a meaningless fling

but we will rise from the ashes

yes we will resurrect again

just give me some pointers

just throw them at me

just show me a place to calm down

so i can get some rest and peace

I need this now

more than I ever did

and this went somehow

such a different way

It’s another act of impatience

and I am shoveling through the blackest soil;

open hands

and both fists are filled with helplessness

and I will nurture our roots

and I don’t want to see them die

I only want to see us grow

steady towards the sky

it’s such a long-winded path

a complex route

to our common home

a place where I can drown

all those demons that took posession of me

in this small california town

by the sea
