Verity

I hope to keep trouble at bay, any life requires, problems just look away, they'll pester me for loans, your eyes seek the tide, tell them we're gone, stumble in the haze, dampen all desire, fools are easy or brave, scared to your bones, they won’t call you a liar, or chase us with guns, ride the blue waves, like a cold fish knife, love is our only gain, why don't you 'phone, I dance among candlelit signs, don't go on your own, is this what you crave, me turning up for hire, pine needles and hay, a soul on fire?
