Sahalee

You called, and I answered

I snuck into your leaves

We spoke another language

You took my hand and you let me breathe

You called, and I answered

I dove into your green

You spoke to me in silence

I answered, blind, and you let me see

I came empty-handed

With a pocketful of grief

I threw it in the ocean

And the lake and the pond, you let it sink

"Away with all the others,

Come away" you said to me

"I'm the sunken path, come follow

Perfect fifths, sixty degrees"

"Come away with me"
