Falling Into The Big Night

.. ..

It falls so short

The time between now

And when

I ate each word and sucked out meaning

Between the rounds of drinks and torched

Dialog

You were high and lively and willing to risk and

I was drowning waiting for the sun to quake

Glimmered in all that was your

Shinning voice

Reflecting an eye wildly aloft

As flying hawks

Circling in the wind

Who were you when I

Squinted at mountains sorting out deaf dreams?

I just wanted to know

As you ride along on tinted glass and old smoke

How many shades of darkness do I need to navigate before

Falling with you into the big night?
