if you never say goodbye

[dead man]

simple

safety latch. the basement ballroom
dancing wolves to leaky cauldrons
great exalted, ye of faithful fortune. make me wanted
if you wish. i've traced
you often onto desktops with a razor from
my father's cupboard. made you paper cranes and
bought you supper. sent you love in silent wonder
whisper me your darkness i could shiver
here for years and smile. listen to you wax romance
through rotary receiver dial
how do you mean? i ask this every night
a coward in sheepskin. chained ourselves
to any missing link evolving between us
count me in, coach i'm ready to play. set in my praises
dreaming of some end-stage we may
never attain. i placed an envelope on our gravestones
with a letter that i copy and pasted
all it said, more or less
was see you later
