if only for the last time
a new may day straight ahead
one like none other
if and when we actually get there
I made a promise I would change
but that was long ago
& now I can’t recall into what
tonight we watch the sun turn blue
swallowing the night
making all the rivers rise higher
you’ve been here before
playing victim & demon & god
chasing the impossible moon
if only for the last time
april two thousand twenty
