Rain Garden

The rain garden in the parking lot behind the Coney Island Silent cars astray, pregnant with lonely riders scrolling the hours I was a witness They'll say it's just a Tuesday But loneliness can maim The rain garden under sodium lights, the water flowing Beyond the pines, servants of the forest dancing mazurkas I am by myself They'll say it's just a rainy night But loneliness can harm The rain garden gave me an answer, though it yielded not But two doves of mourning, half-full Baja Blast, a sunset receding I am deserving of love They'll say it's just a love song But love But love has found me Clay-birthed, shale-born They found me They came to the city searching for me My love found me They have a neck of jewels Their mind is gold and silver My love is a feast I am drunk on them We sleep Honey on the lips Sugar under the tongue In the vineyards of the night They are the queen of the night Oh my love, my love Oh my love, my love Make way for my love My love, make way for my love Oh my love, make way for my love My love, kiss me Kiss me before I go Kiss me, kiss me Kiss me before I go Kiss me, kiss me Kiss me before I go Kiss me, kiss me Kiss me
