| | Sway with Me
sway with me, everything sad —
madmen in stone houses
without doors,
lepers streaming love & song
frogs trying to figure
the sky;
sway with me, sad things —
fingers split on a forge
old age like breakfast shells
used books, used people
used flowers, used love
I need you
I need you
I need you
it has run away
like a horse or a dog,
dead or lost
or unforgiving.
