Do you love me

Do you need me

Am I your air

The polar force that

Moves you

Uncontrollably

Where you will not go

Let go

It is brave

To let go.

The world is waiting

Afterall

And a butterfly’s wing

Can kill a star.

Right now

Take my hand

And we will go

Bodies dispersed

Into atoms

Of air that join

With the wind

To ruffle your hair

Ashes to ashes

Let us grow

With the grass

In slender youth

To be masticated

By a lonely cow

Let us become

The downy feathers

Of a wooing dove

Let us tiptoe

Along spider’s spun

Silver

And then play together

On the white satin

Fragments

Of the lily lit

Wondrously by the light

Of the dying stars

Come

Let us go.
