It was the first hallow days of december
For the first time I could see the cars driving through the trees
I was perched up on your shoulder as you slept
Clinging to a bicep, wondering if this was the prettiest sunset I'd ever seen
Stillness invited me
I think it moves nearer when you're beside me
And it motions me in to be sustained when I watch your back rise
I imagine the horizon
Considerably, I've soaked in what it is to be a doll face
Everything is swelling
Everything is evergreen
Faceless vows in the leaves singing, crescendoing
The day is ingested
It is done
You are beside me
Everything lengthens in time
When you are gone, and I am up, I get to tell myself everything lengthens in time
When you are gone, and I am down, I get to tell myself everything lengthens in time
