Well, he takes a step toward me
And then he halves that half
Divisible infinity
He plots me on a graph
But baby never quite arrives
And we never quite meet
Because infinite divides
Are odds I can’t quite beat
And I can’t go halfway no more
I can’t live half-in
I never had the heart for maths
And straight lines make me spin
Baby takes the world in strides
But it reads like a retreat
And his infinite divides
Are odds I can’t quite beat
But he is my Sun at night
Always, he exists
And his lefts, they turn me right
How do I resist?
But I am his Moon at dawn
Always sending waves
And I counter his clockwise
How will he behave?
But we’re in eternal Lent
Nourished as we fast
Which gods divined this sacrament?
And how long will it last?
We’ve travelled far enough away
That every step we tread
Is farther from and closer to
The other’s sorry stead
Some nights I hear you calling me
Or I’m just on your frequency
A little south, a little west
A little broken at your best
Bouncing off of different stars
Trying to gauge just who you are
Keep avoiding all absorption
Babe, your sound is just distortion
If it weren’t for that moon
I could set you free
If it weren’t for the sun
You would be with me
If it weren’t for those stars
I could lose my way
If it weren’t for your heart
In the Milky Way
Don’t be fooled
Don’t be fooled
You were born to grow
Don’t be fooled
Don’t fail the Test
Don’t second guess and slow
Don’t be fooled
Don’t falter
Don’t pretend that you don’t know
The only way to reach it
Is to hold tight and let go
I press my hand into the ground
The God of Science shall compound
And so your hand will feel my rush
In waves of light, of love, of lush
The moon told me she’d gone to bed
To dream of all that which you dread
She’d hollow out these hopes deceased
And so tonight, you’d rest in peace
Sure as the Atlantic tide
Sure as MY Cam will collide
Sure as winter harbours spring
Sure as ends are beginnings
Sure as I could ever be,
That moon will bring you back to me
The pull’s insistence
Grew stronger with distance
I’m no longer sure it was natural
When you dropped that bomb
With arrogant aplomb
I assure you, the damage was actual
malarky musings
