Things III

autumn's early dark
has light come into my life?
i'm thinking of you

/

i've only read about your wounds
but they sound a lot like mine
and i understand your apprehension
but new love works faster than time

& i'm game if you're game
i'm down if you're down
we can do this slow
just please let me know

& i'm game if you're game
i'm down if you're down
& i've got to know
or i've got to go

but i'll just say it on record
i think i like you
i think i like you a lot
i like you a lot.

/

these are long states to drive through
when you are not on the other side

& these are long days to sleep through
to just wake up without you again

waves of autumn's grey light
threaten to wash the color out of everything
autumn's early dark
it is all the same.

there's no difference.
there's no difference.
