Distance on Pub Wine, Good Romance and Hope.


Take my pulse to see if I'm well
I'm well
there is gap here
there's beat of my street feet
but my pulse doesn't quicken quite like
around you

if I could stroke your fingers
tips
take my pulse and tell me I'm well.
I'm well but the garden is not quite as green, a bit more
stagnant than I want
do I want

what do I want...
you here?
You here

Take my pulse to see if I'm well

and the ground supports me
but could you too
you do.
Your freckles are stars
infinitely distant
and infinite here.

Take my pulse to see if I am well.
Hand on my chest
feel the blood flow life
and I will do the same.
