What Stays

Summer baby, your face looked tan through the phone screen
Pixelated, what I couldn't see were the backs of your hands peeling

Your noon sun slips behind my mountain
I'm thinking shapeless thoughts
I'm thinking shapeless thoughts about intimacy
About endless need
About moments
Moments of peace

Sunburnt baby, besides the hands, what else am I missing?
An idea made me fervent for a time
I saw a world behind it
Now I'm too lazy to find it

Your noon sun slips behind my mountain
A day swells and is gone, thrown out to the dogs
To join a growing wake I can't see clearly
So please show me
Show me what stays
