i found you grieving in the grass   sky blood water color blue   you seem so simple sure and sad   so I sat down to grieve with you   you raised your hand to shield your eyes   i shifted left to block the sun   you crossed your legs and cleared your throat   i waited for you words to come   but they slept soundly in your chest   they never made it past your tongue   so we sat silently and still   we thought about the things wed done   and all the people that we loved   and all the people that we wronged   i watched the years flash through your face   locked my anger in my lungs   so every breath stung more and more   a wave of wips across my spine   a billion bees trapped in my chest   nails on chalkboard every time   til i watched your fingers sneak towards mine   i heard your breath go thing and short   i tucked your hair behind your ears   and watched your eyes dart back and forth   i sucked your lip and bit your neck   the trees were shaking at their roots   my angry arms fell cool and calm   my cotton mouth was well with you   so we lay glowing in the grass   to watch the sun swamp with the moon   trade our future for our past   present tense was all we knew
