#43
shy
do you remember who we were
who had built monuments to time
as we would wish it would melt away
and never touch us again
-- sink into the paintings on the wall
those angry black lines
do you remember how the world moved
and people kept on walking
around in circles around lakes
as water lapped their feet as a thirsty dog
-- crystals hung in the wind
clattering a strange symphony
and the way we were then
the way the moon orbited the sun
we revolved with our eyes to the stars
and our feet tucked into the grass
-- as night slipped over us
like a shy blanket
like a shy boy watching the girl he loves
