Cicadas and Gulls

Cicadas and gulls

A scrape on the hull

The land and the sea

Are distant from meI'm in the sky, sky, sky

I'm in the skyThoughts are like pearls

When flags are unfurled

When we're in the dark

I'll ride you like the arkBecause you mine, mine, mine

Because you mineMaps can be poems

With you on your own

And distance is Braille

And all that entailsI'm in the sky, sky, sky

I'm in the sky

I'm in the skyAs deep as a page

And high as a stage

As full as a room

When we're in the spoon
