I received your message (voice)
while driving back from Maine
it made my mouth taste yearning
and a subtle sting of pain

so why can’t I just call you back
to find you, make the drive
and complicate this life of lack
and share a reason, live

under a willow spreading
in the hammock by the lake
I couldn’t hear the dreading ‘
cause of choices that we’d make
and hindsight, twenty-twenty
is too easy to enjoy
under a willow spreading
— you a girl and me, a boy

every day I dream it:
to show up at your door
imagining you mean it
when you kiss me to the floor
we ditch the cars in Potsdam
clear the border, heading west
and then the colors vanish
as the conscious does its best

under a willow spreading
in the hammock by the lake
I couldn’t hear the dreading
‘cause of choices that we’d make
and hindsight, twenty-twenty
is too easy to enjoy
under a willow spreading
— you a girl and me, a boy

and time becomes a nuisance
and “responsible” the king
we’re propertied and familied
indebted to these things
so would you if I asked you:
turn your back on all of this
to pursue an ancient promise
kept within a gentle kiss

under a willow spreading
in the hammock by the lake
I couldn’t hear the dreading
‘cause of choices that we’d make
and hindsight, twenty-twenty
is too easy to enjoy
under a willow spreading
— you a girl and me, a boy
