Wrapped in velvet glow
Name over and over
On soft skin
In satin soaked
Wrapped in skins
After aisles and aisles of
Tracing
And repetition
Home
Getting along
Keeping on keeping on
Floating past bread eggs pans, dirty
Dish hum-drum,
Un-painted, un-perturbed
The wind ripping through
Roaring trees
And prophesies
Tram barrelling
Down the road on
Days of joy and of outrage
The dreams, the conversations
We've had and the ones we've ended (thank god)
A shade of liberty
And love, set apart from the crowd,
Nestled under sheets in sweat
In a bulletproof shell
Waiting smelling our home draped in
Velvet glow
