my pursuit has been one of connection

a full out sprint into romance’s vexin

I'm a collage of all that I have loved

I’ve been baptized on lakeside drive

pulled over by the cops for necking too much

resorting to dimly lit lots along 64

met a little thing in indonesia

oh how I changed just trying to please you

wishing you’d stay along my side for the lore

building a home into mountain face

I’m learning that love cannot be a erased

or cherry picked from up above or so I thought

now my babies are all together

in the crevice of my soul

holding a tether

linking me to divinity

eternal

I see you all in the orchestration of my day to day

in my private vocation

and I get to sit at the alter left in my chest

still unfolding the blessings of the being

and I’ll hold your hand as life starts bleeding.
