Places

I know of places 

Where we can race wild and ricochet across the sea 

Chase me through the depths of purgatory and light 

Into a blissful serenity 

Where storms collide and mountains bend 

Where darkness creates rainbows

And the sun is the moon 

Love Street Blues

I learned my lesson

Too typical to call it a blessing

Wiped your tears out of your bathroom sink

Mistaken, clearly missed the discrepancies

I have been held up in a sweet flippant fantasy

Touch me, squeeze me, pretend that you need me

A fixture, a perfect picture

Twisted into a shallow codependency

Hand me my bag

Give me my shoes

Is that my watch on the dresser?

I’ll grab that too

Broken heels hitting the pavement

Among lost strangers

Singing the Love Street Blues…
