Hail

LETRA

Hail

We live short and to the point
like the way my father said to write,
line by line.
We make love and fall asleep.
Take your dreams and make them into mine.
There’s no harm.

If I say I’m ready
will I be when the hands stop
on the clock?
Oh, it fills up my chest.
When I stand at the edge of the shore.

Hail.
Hail all.
The bitter. The sweet.

We talk close to feel our breath
warm just like the day that you were born,
all blushing red.
We make love and fall asleep.
Take my dreams and make them into yours.
We get lost

whenever we stop.
to see the dead we’ve laid to rest
or waste here.
Oh, it fills up my chest.
When I stand right behind
the front door.

Hail.
Hail all.
The Bitter. The sweet.
