this time i was happy

i see it in the redwood trees
and nasturtium leaves
in the broken breeze of a
passenger window
goin slow in the melon groves
i was the one watching

in the starboard dreams they run
in the ink on her arm they sing
in that breath of cigarette smoke
so sweet i kissed you
on the lonely nights

catching the jet trails and
wailing trains and the
highway's whisper
i heard you

so clear and loud and
pressing
i can hear you

in a sting of a bee
when i bit my tongue
or stubbed my toe
i felt you
don't think you go by unnoticed
because you're there
every
damn
day

in the flash of a moth's eye
i saw you.
