harley

i wished you were a sunbeam
the kind i used to look at
with my head tilted a little
as a child
then raise my arms up and try
to walk into them
and then ascend my golden staircase!
i believed if i crawled inside
those little rays of light
i could wiggle my way to heaven
and then persuade god that i was
an angel....his kinda angel!!!
and now i see you
and i want to crawl inside you
and wiggle my way to your heart
and smile innocently at you
and say i'm your girl your kinda girl
(cause i'm too giggly yet to be a woman)
and then you pull up on your harley
and say hop on

i hop

and cling

and you

drive

and take off for barking sea lions and
a fantastical coast i've never seen

and one day

i'll wake up.
