When tomorrow comes

I want you to hold your thumb to the moon

Fit the curve of its grey whale back against your seashell nail in an ocean of starry indigo

Did you know, that no matter how bright and belonging the moon may seem

It is never larger in the sky

That your thumbprint's kiss?

I don't suppose to know what that means

But somehow it sings of some soft sadness

That something so striking could whittle down to illusion and nothing more - just a horizon and atmosphere and light and your eyes

Perhaps keep your thumb tucked tight in your fist instead

Perhaps hold a little song in your sorrow

Perhaps to believe is to see

And either way now, darling, what does it matter to you anyways?
