Sweetest Life
To Warsaw
To Lewisburg
To Berlin and back
Surfacing, I gasp
I have never been known to love like this
I have believed

You are the patient, the quiet
the honored back rows
Certainly this will lead to somewhere
To the uncovering, to the compositions
To the closeness and the twilight
To this our...
Sweetest life
