11:00 pm in san francisco

Near a stone kneeling down to meet my feet

my thoughts over our distant gaze

sensual as the mist kissing our faces of fog.

 

I couldn’t hear you then as much the lights from

the bright glass deafened and high tower bells

out of the sand where land should have been.

 

This concrete your feet click on doesn’t remind me

of anything. I like that.

 

Doors are pushing open and I will admit I believe

in something mystical, something stupid…

explained…well, explained… but your smell

it walks with me.

 

It takes a left on Divisadero and forgets to turn

on Powell and stares at a billboard J.D. Power and a fire

hydrant.

 

That’s what I…Love…weighted more

than snow for you.
