STRONGEST TASTE
LOUDEST DROP
HEAD IS FILLED
THE THOUGHT, UNLOCKED
YOU'D BE THIRTEEN
I'D BE THIRTY-FIVE
GONE TO FIND A PLACE FOR US TO HIDE
BE TOGETHER BUT ALONE
AS THE NEED FOR IT HAS GROWN
A CAVE OR A SHED
A CAR OR A BED
A HOLE IN THE GROUND
OR A BURIAL MOUND
A BUSH OR A TREE
OR THE AEGEAN SEA WILL DO FOR ME
FOR YOU I FOUND A VENT
IN THE BOTTOM OF A COAL MINE
JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR YOUR HANDS IN THE INSIDE
IF YOU GO
DO LET ME KNOW
A DEN OR A DESSERT
PERHAPS AN INK SQUIRT
A CELLAR, A WISHING WELL, A WAR
OR A GUARANTEE WILL DO FOR ME
FOR YOU I FOUND A CELL
ON THE TOP FLOOR OF A PRISON
JUST ENOUGH SPACE FOR YOU TO FIT YOUR FEET IN
IF YOU GO
PLEASE LET ME KNOW
