.
If I May
Dog's nails tap the kitchen floor
Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door
I'm writing in the dark & cannot see the letters
I'm writing in the dark & cannot see the letters
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Outside is a garden of buildings
Inside shes stares at herself in the mirror
Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes
She smokes & sings along with the radio
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Dog's teeth click
Headlights slide down the walls
While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse
I think of your absence, your sharp jaw
The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
