  • Dedicated to the girl and the one who gave the lamp
                                    

They did not hold hands,

but they connected in different ways

She was a lost girl, a blackened lamp

He was a shooting star, everywhere

everywhere

.

They poured out castles of sand,

He put himself in her way

Yet it was she who left a stamp.

But she felt like they were nowhere

nowhere

.

He was a sailor of the dreams he loved.

She was a girl he only knew of.

He'd been hurt, and she never learned

how to hide her eyes, tear burned.

Toward the light they would bask,

What did he think? she dared not ask.

He collected a skein of water or two,

So that they could enjoy another view

.

And with the light they were singed

Embroidered with blood and wine

And there was nothing they could share

Unless they were nowhere.

Nowhere.

.

How many lips were rouge-tinged

Eyes glinting like a silver fork tine,

It was not the night that had them scared

It was the hunger to be somewhere.

.

Somewhere.
