Let me me find you a longer fall,
one that will break your infatuation with the stars and the soil.
I know your reasons to live are scattered in the glittering grass
because I saw you looking down for which ones might still grow and which had already been eaten.

Let me find you a longer fall
Than the one that starts every day with your waking breath
Graciously allowing you a new chance to re-earn
one that will break your infatuation with the stars and the soil.

than the parking lot
than the bedroom floor

than the parking lot
than the bedroom floor
from the very best of your highs.
A longer fall than the shame of your broken trust,
than my stone down your cliffside
than skin turned against itself again.
