Across The Fields At Dusk
Hours spent listening to your voice
disembodied
carefully controlled
precisely chosen words
with expert intonation
I've laid with headphones on
naked and imagining
there is no separation
no distance
that you're beside me speaking
as my knuckles snake your thigh
You tell the story of your life
you’re telling my story too
How strange, how similar
manifestly different
but emotionally in tune
Walking through the fields at dusk
I hear your voice blow close
chasing me across the land
promises and nothings
sweet and divine
Coming for me
I’m coming for you
across the fields
at dusk...
