ignite

Lets start over.

Blasting into the air.

Singeing the sky, together

as we are blown away.

Lets start over.

Driving fast on the city edge,

living in a house melting

from the cliff.

Lets start over,

Memories shattered,

what does it matter as

we start over again.

Everything you know

about me, everything

you wondered, bursts

apart, painted on the

walls, sky high in

a love that winds

its way in figure eights,

in jackpots, bare escapes,

cheering crowds, love

coming back from

the past as history

unravels in the morning,

tomorrow.

Lets start over.

You don’t say why,

I say yes,

bright sky eyes,

on water black air,

a car in the park,

constellations above,

change names.

Lets start over.

It isn’t love.

It is everything

you know about me

cracked open,

behind the jet stream,

behind the sun,

behind infinite time,

until the truth, the untruth,

the levers that upset

the universe are

like just another

sun that

breaks the dawn.

Lets start over.

In front of the world,

in endless cartwheels

provoking hurricanes,

ending civilization,

eyes creased, until

everyone that was not one,

comes together

in the moment that

the sun was ignited.

I am not you,

you are not me,

it doesn’t seem to

matter once

you and I and

everything that we

were, start over.
