david lee wright
west boulevard

When we had found
What we thought
Where we were
All the ships became distant
And the sky fell upon our backs
Raising the floor to our brow
Forever sealing loose lips
With the Birds as kings
And the Trees as their interpreters
Juxtaposed among uncertain tongues
The light shrank into cascading stars
pointing towards a home
Where together
What was ours
Had no time to be
Lost
when we were
