• Lean-To

Spirit: out; this isn't where you are
Lit-up by the dying of the stars,
Rising as they're finally breaking through
The windows all the shutters find,
Standing back, beyond and left behind,
Someone who's been calling out for you
Is brought-on back to life-unknown.
How do you get to where you go,
Moving as you want to
Or running off as some do,
Waking, just in time to miss the show
Longing where you know you don't belong
Someone you remember from a song
Was leaving as the band began to play,
Steady, but just out of time,
Taken by a stolen line.
You shouldn't, but you cry, now
Dropping what you let down
Slipping as you limp off to the wine,
Words of caution: \"Come and stay.\",
Hoping that it's been too late
To notice that you've been gone.
Start-agains with come-ons,
Flaring for a moment when they'd fade,
Leveled low enough to climb
Clouds you hadn't followed in the night,
Hiding where you knew they couldn't be
Needed, unattended and apart
Swinging from a rafter in the dark
Put to sleep and answered in a dream
Of promises that laid it down
As soon as they were out of town,
Falling for a lean-to
Never meant to hold you
Up until a valley could be found
Passing on the chances that you'd won.
But you were never really done.
Someone should've taken you aside,
Captured never showing up
How far could you have ever come,
Encircled by the well-worn,
Crowning-off and half-torn.
Believing you weren't trying hard enough.
