slow blanket
nuvole bianche
that village i painted once
a washed-down tapestry
and i guess it doesn't matter
that i can't see clearly behind the clouds
what are you trying to tell me
hell, are you there at all
i guess it's just
an old film playing again
hazy eyes,
not-warm-enough blanket
but the moon smiles
here there's so much space
all the silence that i need
guess it doesn't matter
that i'm trying to discern
between day & night
a lover and a half
and there are seasons too
but everything's timeless
(they said heal your headache with cold
oh i remember
heal uneasiness with gold)
so here i gingerly sit
so many questions
so many answers!
half a bottle of wine
ribbons around my ankles
(i was writing you letters before,
so what is the difference)
non-fleeting blanket
pretty berries
it's flower season,
the moon shines
the piano sounds faintly
gently
i guess it's an old melody, playing again
but this time
i'm listening
