if and when you find me
leaning against the back of
the chassis / of a fallen starship
if and when you find me / eyes closed / underneath the
dorsal fin
just tap me on the shoulder / with your index
finger
and i’ll unzip my jacket to let you in
like a stick of light / that you only have to snap to
ignite
your signal is all that i need to receive / to
reilluminate my eyes
we make it our personal responsibility / to hold an
umbrella over this city
if and when we land / in an alpine meadow / on top of the
andes
if and when we can relax / for just a moment / before the
war goes on
you don’t even have to open your eyes
just tilt your
head / and hold my hand / and smile
like a lithium ion battery / we can recharge almost as
many times as we need
given a consistent source of energy / we can approach
infinity
some things go right / in spite of how much of everything
goes wrong
the light in your eyes / stays on
some things seem to persist / in spite of how very
little they make sense
until their end / it’s not a question of if / but when
we make it our personal responsibility / to hold an umbrella over this city
