I could tell the tale of when you stepped out of the fog
in a borrowed coat from the girl on Staten Island.
We pronounced revealing words on the couch in the garage
and we said, "LORD, is this the end of our unravelling?"
The letters that we sent, painting pictures of ourselves
were sealed with lips that never touched each other.
I peeled my winter gloves while you pulled away your love
and sent a shot through every hemisphere I'd conquered.
If you can hear me now, honey, put off all your doubt
and all the silence you've turned into laughter.
Breathe out all your crimes, calm and trusting as the night
you were sleeping up and down the Montauk Highway.
If time won't let you go and leaves you guilty and comatose
Believe me all is healed and all has been forgiven
It won't be the same, but I don't mean that like I did
in the grass beneath your watertower eyelids.
