JETTY

We know here

Is just today

Tomorrow is 

Whichever way


The river runs 

The whole day long

I see you naked

Sun singing your song



This place is 

Out of time

And out of step

 And out of rhyme 


And the breeze gathers 

All the particles of love

And scatters them

Like feathers off a dove


God only knows

The syncopated memories

That fall between

 Blades of light and dark


This place is 

Out of time

And out of step 

And out of rhyme 


And the miracles

And occasional truth

That keep us together

Or apart in youth


We know here

Is just today

Tomorrow is 

Whichever way


This place is 

Out of time

And out of step 

And out of rhyme
