You’re the only one I would charge through the uncertainty of an inky desert night with 

Fresh summer fruit tastes bitter after drinking  cola 

But nothing compares to our time outside.

I’ll tie my greasy Hair into a bandana while you tell me I look beautiful 

And we will let warm dry air in the car on our way down 

I’m afraid tonight. I feel the living earth and the little critters all around us

It’s a full kind of emptiness 

Pale legs breech the surface of a warm murky water. 

“It feels like swimming in the night sky”

Would you have come if I told you?

That the light ends at the edge of the fire

And the oval of the headlights.
