Dyed

I woke up by the field

With a bee hitting the glass

You rolled your sequined eyes at me

As you pulled up your pants

Find me a river

That doesn’t know her name

I will sing into the trees

Til they take up all my pain

I am a fool in love and

I’ve got nothing to prove

The spire’s shadow is on us

I can feel it whenever you move

Like pressure at the edge

of a river’s blade

No gods

No will

No waves

No wind

To carry us back to shore

Well I’m tethered to your boot

You

have your lantern raised

Swinging taciturn ways you learned

To weave into my braids

Thigh high in the night

Running down the aisle

Well I’d sell my soul to the devil you know

Just to see you smile

Whatever love is or is not

I don’t care anymore

for I have loved you like an island

forever is losing its shore

I cannot

Be here any more

With

No gods

No will

No waves

No wind

To carry us back to shore
