Final Form

it was more than an hour
from when you left until I started to react
you were more than a lover
you were a garden where I’d built an arbour
and in the shadows of night I got smaller
it was more than an instant
that brought your every word to my every thought
and on the edge of an ocean
I wrung the heat out of the night in storm
and in the finishing minutes
I put the touches on your final form
as you’d stay in me --
days are more than the sum of what we’d ever planned
days of rain calling out for a lingering glance
days of hearing your stories, of telling my own
days of wrecking our heads over how this has flown
days of sailing and running, tangled in the sea
days of ruining our socks in the evergreen trees

all that i am
would keep you apart
and this on my mind:
to leave you or not
is my own device
it’s always on my mind
all that i am
would give you a kiss
if I had the nerve
I’d make us a list
of actions and words
and I’d say the first ‘i love you’
it would not be absurd!
this is what i’ve learned:
you were the first
to challenge this verse
of singleness and hurt
i will not rest assured

lay your hand on mine
and lay your head beside
only in the night, in the smallest things we hide
tell me all your fears
and I’ll hold them to myself
and do whatever I can do to help
ships are pulling out
the rain is pulling in
shivers as we face into the wind
I’ll wrap you in these arms
keep away the night
and drive away the things you locked inside

If somebody knows, if somebody finds
The things I felt so clearly, the things I kept inside
I guess I wanted you
and I wanted you to want me too
If somebody knew
If somebody knows, if somebody finds
What I thought it meant, when I read between the lines
The little things I’ll recall
The stories you would tell so well
The lift before the freefall
I guess I wanted you
and I wanted you to want me too
If somebody knew

midnight at the garden house
I see you walk by in that gown
and I can barely think ahead
to what we’ve known to what we’ll know
the lanterns swing on sturdy boughs
the shifting light, the singing forms
the friends we’ve gathered in our arms
to wish us well, to sing us songs
