And then someone
Threw me overboard
And unable to
Swim I was
Sinking when suddenly
Two splashes above
Me happened suddenly
First a buoy
And then you
Pulling me from
Deaths grip you
Brought me air
And carried me
To the safety
This you did
Only for me
And then someone
Threw me overboard
And unable to
Swim I was
Sinking when suddenly
Two splashes above
Me happened suddenly
First a buoy
And then you
Pulling me from
Deaths grip you
Brought me air
And carried me
To the safety
This you did
Only for me
And so I
Grafted myself to
You and you
Small broken flower
Less and somewhere
In between I
Knew that you
Would never grow
Without me music
The best chili
Is the chili
Prepared one day
And ate the
Next there’s something
About waiting that
Doubles its flavor
It steeps thickens
And deepens color
Parts just disappear
Until they land
Yet once again
And that mmmmm
That’s you too
My old friends
And today perhaps
Perhaps just today
Your miracle happens
If I were
An Angel and
Could grant your
Wish I certainly
Would but like
So many others
I’m a demon
Looking for my
Own salvation in
This crippling world
Of abject damnation
Writing this I
Pray that you
Are blessed by
Yours long before
I’m given mine
For that is
The closest thing
To a miracle
I can muster
And so he
Arrived onions and
Kidney beans in
Hand he said
Make me chili
And so I
Did and we
Started the cooking
And eventually dined
And shared stories
Triumphs and disappointment
Then there between
Sour cream and
Chives we realized
That one thing
We both loved
