IN NORTHERN MICHIGAN |
Dream if you want for me to carry on |
If you could break it all down for me |
I could believe you |
Dream if you want for me to carry on |
If you could break it all down for me |
I remember |
You and I in Northern Michigan |
The color in between the leaves |
Black tourmaline, blue-green |
Like some bioluminescent thing |
Come up from the black of the sea |
The purl of the breeze |
Whispering |
I remember |
How you stood at the water’s edge |
While I was at the line of the trees |
And you waded out patiently down |
Ever-darkening your step |
The shadows grew around your feet |
Your ankles and knees |
I remember trembling |
Nights you tunneled inward |
Anxious unto panic |
I was that watcher on the ridge |
Standing on the dune edge faced west |
And the night sloped down before me |
Like a challenge from myth |
But I never moved an inch |
Backlit by the campfire blazing |
Heaving in a harsh spring wind |
Sparks thrown into the low branches to fade |
While you floated into water like a ghost ship |
Sinking |
Days we breezed through everything |
Laughed through whole mornings at home |
And out warm nights running from sleep |
Days like good dreams always familiar, surreal |
The sun in the trees bleeds marigold and wine |
Life |
All of its languages here |
Love spoke in tongues |
Loudly or hushed |
Too much of you at once is just enough at all times |
My life in the light of you |
I remember everything |
Dream if you want for me to carry on |
You could be like a body in the sea |
You could go slowly sink on into nothingness |
Or you could float like a lantern in a breeze |
You could freeze out of focus on a movie screen |
Film careening from the reel |
Or you could stay for an ovation |
When the credits roll |
Focused face right in the center of the frame |
You never know |
I heard the sound of my feet |
Before I felt them pound sand |
I heard only my own hard heartbeat in my head |
There was no sound |
I saw the water to your knees |
Then to your neck |
Above your head |
I swore you’d drowned |
I watched you swim out |
I only watched you wade in and panicked when I lost you |
Sprinting now downward to find you back |
As if you even needed me or asked |
Worry always myself too much for your old sadness |
Worry until I panic |
Tumble to the open shoreline |
Kept running toward water alone |
The waves against my chest deafening |
Or only your soft laughter in me |
