line in from winnowing by forest spirit, sun on your back

they can watch you, they display you all they want
they can love you in your head enough
but you don’t see them, no, they’re never all around
even though the signs are all right out,
behind you and in front of you
words are pleasure wrapped in smoke and sun and time
just give it like a week or two
the arms will meet and cross

form and fashions, ways that worm into your thoughts
packed with asterisks sparking like a flame
but in the car now, you would like to be there too
but you find them southbound driving out,
the sunset right in front of you
songs are nothing given shape and sun and time
just give it like a week or two
the arms will meet and cross

but you still don’t know if the lines are straight or parallel
and they still don’t show it if they won’t stay after the bell
and you bear it gladly, the sake of feeling makes it worth
just keeping around till you see the sunlight pulling out,
their eyes are right in front of you
full and faltering without a word to time
just give it like a week or two
the arms will meet and cross
