This is the way it was while I was waiting for your eyes to find me. I was drifting going no place. Hypnotized by sunshine maybe, barking back at seals along the beach. Skipping flat stones on the water, but much too wise for sandcastles. My castles were across the sea or still within my mind.
There were the beach bars and the other beach people sometimes little bedrooms were my beach but I was drifting.
I must have thought the night could save me as I went down into pillows looked up through dirty windows smiled back from broken mattress’ turned in Thunderbirds and kissed in elevators. I cried too sometimes. For me. I loved every face I thought was pretty and every kindred eyes I caught in crowds. But I was drifting before you.
