Bad Moves: Cape Henlopen

 

"Cape Henlopen"

 

I sank into the sun

I sank into the sun

I saw heaven undone

Singing reverie’s song

 

 I sank into the sun

I sank into the sun

With strained serotonin

I chased reverie’s song

Straight into the sun

 

You carve a shape into the sand

And wait for the sea to dissolve it

And wash the wreckage from your head

 

You’re not afraid of the way that you feel

But the way that you’re seen in your body

You let the waves rush back again

 

We wade, past the jetty we run

On the desolate shore, so unguarded

Hop the gate and seen by no one

But the Cape Henlopen sun

 

You’re not afraid of the way that you feel

But the way that you’re seen in your body

Beneath the gaze, the ethereal touch

Of the Cape Henlopen sun
