The First of May

dust of your white’s and find your smile boy
tare dresses to the floor with bare feet
and make love on wine stained sheets

This is why we are here

smoke grass
gurgle love
tell them its gonna be alright
we don’t have to sleep alone tonight

This is why we are here

let the night come alive
tell the shadows its okay
it’s okay to taste the sun
it’s okay to come undone

This is why we are here

love trips, rose hips
smiles and toe tips
lips in rain
and all the pain

This is why we are here

unpack your sanity
close holes with thread and stitch
focus on how a flower grows
or a stream flows

This is why we are here

these words cannot dance
these words will not listen
these words are not real
these words cannot feel

This is why we are here
