Engines

Only the faintest
only the faintest glance
buries you buries me
So fire your engine
see if I give a damn
we'll be dust instantly

Caught in a jet stream
caught in a gorgeous howl
all the world lost in noise
Use me forever use as rocket fuel
I'll be air I'll be fire

You say you love me like the silence of the
turning earth
You say you love me like the endless
roar of modern of life
You say you love me like
the laughter and the kissed back tears
You say you
love me like the past the now the coming years

What will you remember
what will you think of me
after I say goodbye
Returning in bodies, plants
and the sand you'll squeeze
and between shoeless feet

I know I love you like the silvered gold of dying
days
I know I love you like an ancient history
brought to life
I know I love you like the sunlit
water on your skin
I know I love you like the
million times I never said

I know you love me like the silence of the turning
earth
I know you love me like the endless roar of
modern life
I know you love me like the
laughter and the kissed back tears
I know you love me like the past the now
the coming years
