Wind and Reed

A new moon slipping over
White plate and crystal
Shadowed beneath where sustenance
Is no longer craved
Slipping and slipped beyond supper
Tongues still tasting and to be tasted
Spooning going on forever June
The silvering of it all by candlelight
The flame never to be extinguished
The melting of it wax eternally
So then he’ll catch it all for you
80 years the slim line lasso lasting
Thinning but not broken rendering
Oh the real is so romantic
So will we all follow the way you went
Unwind to the next life of wonder
But always here in this one where
Has the time gone worrying no more
What will I make for dinner with no hunger
Am I raising the children right Yes
Doing and done you have for many generations
Infinitely interesting how now all of it
As if they were all still alive
Since film is life
We are witnesses forever
Following your winding love story
