Back from another brink on a 2 year blitz
Over again
Under the influence
Certain songs still make me wanna'

Save for the vestibule
I could easily slip off the dock again
Video camera in my head
Playback in black and white
From the first night
How could we have known then?
The time we didn't have to lose

You knew
My well-being was at risk
Or were you trying to save yourself
Your own perjury
Your ego not able to
Bare the thought
Of your Universe drying out

In spite of it all
This many days
In passing and wishful understanding
I'd return for one more day
In secret shadows

All these pictures crowded together
Collage form
Spilling, melting away from my lap
Not so frightened now
Solemn
Close the box top

And continue on
