we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like car parts, bottles and cutlery,
whatever I find lying around
it's become a habit
a way to start the day
i go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
it's early morning
no one is awake
i'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
i listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
i follow with my eyes till they crash
i imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
and when it lands
will my eyes be closed or open?
i go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
safe up here with you

in a farflung land
you stand
one foot in the sand
the sky is blue
and you are mine
i don’t ask you why
love me till i’m dead
you said
skin was burning red
but your heart is a locked door
i just can’t ignore
i’ll see you back on shore
she wears my shirts
my nerves
she swears that the pervs don’t care
putting the magazine away
you say
o we can’t stay
i don’t understand
was this all your plan
and hours till we land
i miss you
drink in hand
flirting with
another man
i miss you
full of grace
with your scars
and painted face
everything’s
foreign shores
broken bells
and locks on doors
i was not prepared for you
i miss you
