Runaway Tattoo

Run away tattoo
Climb til they see you
Dog to your right side
Enjoying winter’s rhyme

Spring uphill longhair
Wade until you’re there
Shoes beyond our feet
Seasons tend to meet

Come closer
Melt into one
Lighting or blowing out candles
Fighting, ignoring their timelines
Sold lies, got left way behind
By the wax tracks on backs of stars
They’re always there or far, melt into one

Steep and stew beneath
Summer in the streets
Hibernating words
Throwing stones at birds

Fall into a mind
Sleep until behind
Lost between the sheets
Overdue retreat
