In classes about things that could vanish
Without our notice or care
Here I am
So far from where you are sitting, crying
Rocking the telephone
Trying to wish all the bad things away
Like steal bars and police cars
Trying to hide how scared I am about you

Here we are
In the car
Laughing at ourselves
Here we are in the parking lot
Shirtless and freezing but
Screaming at the world
Under streetlights

I am the beat
I am the song
You had it right but I’m all wrong again
So far from who I am that I can’t remember
Where I’ve been
Standing on the steps of the cathedral
Admiring the view, but no god within
These painted walls and
If I were to focus, to breathe breathe breathe
I’d pass the line where we are and slip beneath
Who I am
And wind up on top again with your hand around the bar
and I wouldn’t be able to stop seeing that image in my head.

Here We Are

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
