Engines

Only the faintest

Only the faintest glance

Buries you, buries me

So fire your engine

See if I give a damn

We'll be dust instantly

Caught in a jet stream

Caught in a gorgeous howl

All the world lost in noise

Use me forever

Use me for rocket fuel

I'll be air, I'll be fire

You say you love me like the silence of the turning Earth

You say you love me like the endless roar of modern life

You say you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears

You say you love me like the past, the now, the coming years

What will you remember?

What will you think of me after I say goodbye?

Returning bodies

Plants in the sand, you'll squeeze

In between shoeless feet

You know I love you like the slivered gold of dying days

You  know I love you like an ancient history brought to life

You know I love you like the sunlit water on your skin

You know I love you like the million times I never said

I know you love me like the silence of the turning Earth

I know you love me like the endless roar of modern life

I know you love me like the laughter and the kissed back tears

I know you love me like the past, the now, the coming years
