good, seeing you
Some dumb rock show huh? See the people around
bounce, bounce off
I will do my best to hold a space
around you.
My best is not bad
(it has to be)
This band is too great
to risk ruining it when you start kicking people!
But I don't know why - after all that is past,
why I am happiest
when I can circle my arms
around your shoulders protecting you.
as if you need it. as if you ever did
did I shrink and you grow,
since the days when I thought you did?
and now
do I grow, and you shrink? my gorillalike forelimbs
sheltering your birdlike bones - no,
you are strong. Not hollow, nor fragile, yet you
lean in
just a little,
and I am sure I am neither so strong, nor so clumsy as my hands
suggest -
And there is nothing between us to protect,
anymore.
but you.
