Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander |
You are a gardener |
You cultivate my soul |
You water thirsty vines |
That snake along my spine |
In case I forget to shiver |
You are a carpenter |
You build the scaffolding |
Replace the windowpane |
I see the sky again |
As if I’ve been delivered |
You are a fisherman |
My weather lets you know |
When and when not to wait |
Your hook’s inside the bait |
I’m wary but I swallow |
You are a messenger |
You bring me all the news |
The kind that never lies |
It’s written in my eyes |
You beckon and it follows |
I get to be guilty |
You are a singer too |
Carry me like a tune |
I’m like a newborn child |
I’m wrapped up for a while |
You’re swaying like a hobo |
You are a circus clown |
I’ve never laughed before |
Beneath your canopy |
Oh say a prayer for me |
I want this in a photo |
So be a photographer |
I’m dancing naked now |
Across the maple floor |
Above the lion’s roar |
Your pictures will protect me |
You must be a scientist by now |
With rumpled midnight hair |
You’ve studied every pore |
And every follicle |
Of my bewildered body |
I get to be guilty |
Yours is a different light |
I like my face that way |
The canvas of my skin |
Serene and strange but true |
