but until then
may i always keep my eyes level to this skyline
assessing the glittering new development
off of the coast of Long Beach
never to heaven or revenant
Because i have faith in man as strange as that seems
in times like these and it's not just because of the warmth i've found in your brown eyes
but because i believe in the goodness in me
that it's firm enough plant a flag in or a
rosebud
or to build a new life.
