Don't move an inch Listen for a singing Hitting in your bones like they were forts If you hear what I hear Don't just sit there We are only strumming water On this most unlikely court
You got blown shore to shore Not quite sailing Riding on the trade winds of age Things blow in Don't just cast them Say it now, what you want to stay
I was once on a long boat Star mapping the night roots Lightening the load Just in case But things float in to be taken If you don't know by now what will stay
So don't move an inch Don't move a single second Until the shade behind your thoughts is not confused Because I felt your inch I know the scent as well as any Clot in your guard And all paints or pollen Brick in your mortar Petals to soaking On the cracks Thicker or finer Milk in your water Black in your primer Wood in your brush Now I am your cloth Whatever you want The best is upon us It's a finicky muse With only potential To choose To choose
