I seen you in the afterglow of the Big Dang
Two mosquito bites on your hand
You said, "Like a long vowel, I make my own name"
Didn't you think I wouldn't see you?"I like how close the rain is from the porch," you said
We sat and watched in silence
A good long drive from the road
I kept itching my hand
And then forgetting
You stood and walked from the porch down the steps into the yard and rain
ohRaising your arms and turning
I suddenly remembered
you live here
