when you see me

When the bust stop comes

i took my bike

i'm still loitering here with conviction

and consulting this calendar like everyone else while they open right up

like the window

looks at all the world

the way you look at dreams

the top of the church

and when you're not here how you would look

 after yourself

i would make mistakes

i would take my hands and correct them whatever they were

i miss most things but those things are not here

like the forest and how it smells

and purpose and how that feels

i still wander out alone some nights

and compartmentalize like sand

it's very grey suddenly and honest

i wonder out loud

and sometimes you hear me

and all the noises only a very full wish

that the wish cannot cast

because i'm not interested in where i'll go

the things i'll see

but we'll see

and i still believe in you and me


and when you see me

if you see me

and when the music

if there's music

comes to fix you

if it fixes

and isn't cheerful

if there's cheer still

finds another

if another

comes to thank us

if they're thankful

comes to help us

we need help still

and when you see me

you know me

if you know me

you know me

better
