“I can't take my eyes off of you”
“The Blower’s Daughter,” Damien Rice
all the times we were too tired
all the times we were in a hurry
we were wrong
•
i bought you a book today
a book i have read & loved
& never given to anyone else
i have no hope of ever handing
this other world to you face to face
or at all in this time after the monsoon
•
the flood waters battered everything
but when the waters finally receded
there on the beach he lay alone & dazed
holding on to the book he chose for her
