I met myself in a dream, and I just want to tell you, Everything was alright. (The Velvet Underground) So two summers ago I needed to be alone again, needed the desert unadulterated and terrifying like Christ experienced it when he was tempted by something that one time in that famous book. Later that first night, when the sun had gone down behind the mesa outside of town and the neon sign in front of the cheap motel flickered to life, I called because I had to hear your voice and to be reminded that in a sere land of hungry ghosts like this angels do in fact exist. Then in old Mexico that October I got drunk on free cerveza and salt air laced with possibility, faced with a future consisting entirely of whatever I decided to do with it - but fell asleep still wearing my tie and dreaming of you. |
