I walked home under the purple sky and I thought
how I'd like to take a walk at sunset with you
and all the ones who came before you
just once,
one more time to say it sober
to get it right as right as could
to answer the finality
finally
me.

Through this crystalline lens I find
that my thoughts have changed
my heart has changed
I am change.
I am equal parts blessing and
I don't know what I saw in you.

I want to set it all free
and let thirty years melt away
like the streets of London in summer
and hide from them my face
and turn toward the escaping
star
as it slips below the horizon
and finally puts the matter all
to
bed.
