everything is everything baby

I was taken by conversation

and stiff stalactites fell from the roofs of caves

all over our words

cutting up the dawn of revelation

lying still on the bottom of our love

You were broken by punctuation

stopping short of what you thought you wanted to say

all over my heart

emptying out a lonely secret

sitting silent in our throats

without motion

there is no cause t o stop

we would portion our kisses into units

one kiss is one moment

and so on and so on like that

until they add up to a number greater than the value

of time

a kiss for a daydream

a kiss for a lie

a kiss for a coin in the swear jar

remember when we rode the world?

and held on tight and didnt stop for nothin and nobody?

aint nobody going to do that like that darlin.

For fifty kisses Ill give you fifty moments

and i wont promise that they will all be precious

but the trade off is sweet

I drift through the night

with a shamless sense of despair

that clocks will stop

and time will forget

i would travel across galaxies

and move glaciers

to know your heart

and to have you know mine

I would break my favourite china

and fight a bull in a ring

if my victory meant

that you could hold me

for fifty kisses Ill give you fifty moments

and I cant promise that all of them will be good

our sentences fall deep under streetlights

and sit silent

at the bottom of our love
