Tanager

I can feel the distance set in

The slow lights of your eyes

My head against your chest

As the dust shot up so bright

Palms to the ground

In search of something else

The horses in my heart are chained

I can hear your charms

I can see them shining

In violet veils turned down

I watched this world stream out

My love was golden throated

A child with the sea inside him

Then dawn came and turned him silent

Until the spring sets in

Until we can begin

And I had dreamed some

That all our acts had

Come undone
