THE BOYS OF SUMMER

Where do you go in the light of day
You were here
Breathing memory
Breathing missing me
Cantankerous fire longlap fingers finding
Every
Part of my undoing
And
Letting me fall to pieces
While we safely hold what’s left of what we will never be

I was there
Just last night
Tell me lover
Do you remember
I do
.
But now
The sun has come
And you’re strong again
The boy’s of summer
Are singing your
Glory
Glory
Glory
And the need for me
Is less than it will ever be
And
You’re strong again
There is little memory of the moons return
Of my undoing
And
I need you now
I’m writing glory
Glory
Glory
And I am lost in last night
Still
Wanting to say the thing that got away
The words that were too big to come out
Before the light of day
.
