Before Winter

You leaned over the rocks
Soaking the white sheet in water
Echoes of light on your dress
Echoes of night in your sigh
You watched the boys in the stream
Swim toward their childhood dreams
And you wished it were just as it seemed...

But you say it’s only a matter of time
Before winter, and the curtains are closed

He stood on the hill with his paints
Brushing the sun in your hair
The breath of the wind on his vest
The breath of your body in his eyes
He watched you wringing the sheet
The streams of water on your feet
And he dreamed of the day you would meet...

But you say it’s only a matter of time
Before winter, and the curtains are closed

They lay on the warm river rocks
Counting the wet cotton clouds
The echo of a breath on their chests
The breath of an echo from behind
They watched you turn toward the hill
Your body a slave to your will
And you stood with the white sheet so still…

But you say it’s only a matter of time
Before winter and the curtains are closed
