waking up in a mango colored tent

The perfect sunlight of sound
everything felt like it should and can’t not be

The touch breaths lucid eyes
dreams real all there for the taking

Slow movements before that cup of coffee
not too strong not too weak

Look at pictures read about people
hear stories see the color of your eyes

Just wanting it all to start over again
relive it again and again

Tortured happiness.
burn that bridge when we come to it

Being left on an island
stranded forever together

Making tree houses with all the parts no one wanted
little steps for little feet

Then the words came from the sweaters
people had visions while walking to the store

Everything tasted sweeter more alive
all those things we ever said and did were nothing

Living in this perfect nothing and then doing everything
right again over and over

So many wrong turns taken
when the cellar door was left open

All those dark parts came rolling out
we picked them up one by one and then let them go

Free in the green forest we’ve never been in
sleeping together in a mango colored tent
