Sugar Neighbors

Wild as a young Mars I held your hand
Under the halos of blue argon light
Holy rollers and a few scanning rogues
Deep in the green gum of the night

An old way to the water, our bodies in that mirror
Stars were exploded in rings ‘round our legs
We stopped in shallows and below us those stars
Were once again made

And just then for a moment I thought I could see
Things get better than we ever thought they could be

Sugar neighbors, maybe that’s what we are
Standing in the wet clothes of all of our tries
First comes the flower, and then comes the fruit
The fall and the flies

All I can give you is the name on my door
But I know what I need and how long I need it for
