Tonight And The Rest Of My Life by Nina Gordon

down to the earth i fell with dripping wings
heavy things won't fly and the sky might catch
on fire and burn the axis of the world that's why i
prefer a sunless sky to the glittering and stinging
in my eyes i feel so light this is all i want to feel
tonight i feel so light tonight and the rest of my
life gleaming in the dark sea i'm as light as air
floating there breathlessly when the dream
dissolves i open up my eyes i realize that
everything is shoreless sea a weightlessness is
passing over me everything is waves and stars
the universe is resting in my arms
