they watch me like i run

Text

                                             they watch me like i run

lining up the little green houses

                              you run with

     me you there

and me crashing

          alongside

                                        there you are

how can you

be                                   here

               i wish i was                              there

                    want to be

beyond the meadows are

                                                  poppies like organs,

                              and her eyes

where

                                   the meadow breeds bright with crystallized life

                    smooth as glass


                    i close my eyes and i see her close her eyes and she sees you.

have you ever seen something so round?

such unknowable round                    

round like or yet like round or rather yet round like no other round

          can i

                    speak

now?

   i am an organ that breathes, and through breathing come closer and closer to speech
