shine

i don't remember
days or nights
so perfectly

(as perfectly
as you)

i see times
blurred in
sunshine and
light

(even in
the rain)

you'll remind me
why a place is
important

(right down to
longitude)

but it won't
matter to a
foggy brain

(so full of the
instant and now)

one day
i'll show you
the greatest shine
of the mooon

or a perfect turn
of the tide
twisting at the
corner
of your eye

just beyond your reach

until then
i'm chipping away
at the hours

clicking and clacking
what's left
of a memory

hoping for home
before darkness

long time away

(shine)
