woke up to one hundred dragonflies circling our heads the day after you left us so alone now all that i can see are bright lights in spaces where you were you were always singing you were always there woke up alone today again in the dark and the storm outside couldn t hide my brother s cries violent moans like those of our father when dope left his system we need you more than you know we need you more than ever history left your mark on my face with this nose and hair that still grows wild as grape vines kissing my cheeks i know you re here so i ll hold my breath till i see shapes or see your face again whichever comes first if that doesn t work i ll summon heaven to pour down onto us all and leave us drenched wet in your scent you are always listening you are always here
