Naps and Before
by Sam Eddie Cain IrvinWhat a fight
it's all
right
it's all right baby
and i can smell again
your scent
is proof of that
and so now i remember
but i've forgotten how you grab
me
how you grab my head and run and tag you're it
all around the
yard
until the sun goes to bed
a cool summer evening
I misunderstand
and that's all
right
it's all right because i get lost
and my complaint is not grounded
on anything real
but what
can i do
When all i have is how i feel when
you cry
when you cry baby i can't
Listen to tears
'cause sad and me are
nemeses
it's not you it's the water falling
and your tone of voice
when
its half cracks
and you're talking so gently
i expect the wind to carry
off your words
almost a stage fright
but the
butterflies don't stay in
