The Camera Divides the Coast of Maine

It's a long time.

The camera divides the coast of Maine

into outlines,

lighthouse by lighthouse,

drive by drive,

into rain by rain.

What do you think about it, if you had to say?

All this life, I wish it didn't really have to change.

There's this time I walk by and I see us living there

after all, and we're looking at the possible light

in the possible day.

This is you and I,

when we said we think we can get there again,

golden languages of mosses and sunlight,

the edge of the world that is not the end.

What do you think about it, if you had to say?

Light by light the camera divides the coast of Maine.

There's this time I walk by and I see us leaving there

after all, and we're looking at the possible light

in the possible day.
