It was a particular night
When it was the quarter moon that moved & not the planets
when the gases of Jupiter were ignite
We were balancing on an ice-age
we could have fallen either way
it was your mind versing mine
& you when my mind was tired
You put the music back on
You covered my face in laugh lines
you covered my face in crows feet
you covered my face in kisses
You are the bark of a dog
You are the melody in the chimes
You are the view from my back door
where flowers bloom & perfume
