Wake up to an open window and summer split ends
Last night and the cigarette grit still echoes and bends
I still taste you under my tongue
I don’t want you, but you linger in my lungs
It’s been months now, we’re nearing on november
But sometimes, to fall asleep, i stop to remember
The curve of your cheek
The sparsely-filled subway car when midnight had passed
Giving thanks to the slices of sky as i maze my way back
There in the gate kept garden
Across from the alleyway stairs
Under the light of the corner store
You tucked a lock of my hair
Am i glowing yet? am i going to rain?
I feel a monsoon in my chest
Drip to my knees
Believing again
Now i’m enveloped in yellow
I still dream i have insect wings
Reaching for creatures in make-believe lands
I speak through the worlds that i sing
The bugs below hum to the stars
I keep our new york night in a jar
Maybe someday, i will go back
Well, maybe it’s best when i dream from afar
Sometimes i wonder if i’m a cicada
Only emerging for moments like these
Only knowing how to sing in the times in between
It’s been a long many years underground
I shake my shell, i make my sound
Awake to the world, and i’m here to remember aloud
I remember
There in the gate kept garden
Across from the alleyway stairs
Under the light of the corner store
You tucked a lock of my hair
Am i glowing yet? am i going to rain?
I feel a monsoon in my chest
Drip to my knees
Believing again
Am i floating yet? are my feet on the floor?
Or am i suspended in night?
Wings on my back
I flit like a kite
