sit with me
gaze into space
can you hear
the stars embrace
stay with me
on the bridge
blankets up
to the edge
of our faces
of our chins
breathing places
we’ve never been
I know, I know you
I know, I know it’s hard
the meteor may never come
but there are songs yet to be sung
the meteor is slow to fall
but you and I talk through it all
take in
the night sky
as it bows
its head to cry
walking past
the morning birds
they understand
how much it hurts
to know you can’t
go back and change
who you were
or who you hurt
I know, I know you
I know, I know it’s hard
the meteor may never come
but there are songs yet to be sung
the meteor is slow to fall
but you and I talk through it all
I know it’s sad
but I’m here
I know it’s sad
but have no fear
we’ll lift up
our heads tonight
and won’t look back
on who we might have been
I know, I know you
I know, I know it’s hard
the meteor may never come
but there are songs yet to be sung
the meteor is slow to fall
but you and I talk through it all
the meteor may never come
but there are songs yet to be sung
the meteor is slow to fall
but you and I talk through it all

Kyoto
for my dad
The stones that we left there are calling to me
Have they grown into boulders? Or rolled to the sea?
It’s a myth, oh father,
that we carry these stones
But the memory heals us,
so we’re no more alone
You show me the water splashed up on the stones
You bring out the beauty in Earth’s grey-green bones
It’s a myth, oh father,
that we carry these stones
But the memory heals us,
so we’re no more alone
So we’re no more alone
MeYouUs
he kneels over me
all anger and silence
I know I should leave
but I feel so frightened
you kneel next to me
all lovely and caring
I know I should stay
but this is so scary
but I feel so wary
I’ve kept it safe within my memory
the pain of his sin
threatens me, and you, and us
here I stand
trudging through hell
before we began
I buried myself
it’s not yours to hold
but you’ll be the witness
this thing is cold
but I won’t let it freeze us
I won’t let it freeze us
I’ve kept it safe within my memory
the pain of his sin
threatens me, and you, and us
me, and you, and us
