Toes out to the sea

drink in the darkness
then in the morning wake to sing
i'm only breathing
to soak in the sweetness that you bring
your pursed lips blow
perfect o
as you break your body
like waves onto me

so take my finger
and trace it along your parts that glow
but satisfaction is something
i don't guess i'll ever know
and i don't know
where to go
and i don't know
what it is that you'd have me to be

barely walking
to carry yourself back home to sleep
it's cold to let go
but colder the longer that you keep
and don't you know?
your family ghost
wont be tamed
just by trailing your toes out to sea
