the explanation in a silver key
that spins across the bottom right corner
a string of numbers that pulls behind it
a dawn and a sunset and the blur until dawn again
and that is the answer
it looks like a mistake
like a heavy cloud pulled across the skyline
just as i was pressing to save it forever
it looks as though i failed
the darkness erased the city
splashed its own black ink across the page
but looking now i realize
what it was, what i saw, and see
what was erasing the lights of the world
it is your silhouette
standing firm in the foreground
and looking at you
i can no longer see the spikes of city
the doors and the windows and openings of the world
all i have is you
blotting out the world
in your silhouette striking for a different horizon
till i too turn
and leave this world behind for yours
06 06 08
the date on the page
on this old photo album
pulled me into the past
and explained so much of this present.

really good themes. and when i say themes, maybe i mean.. really, i don't know what i mean. but there was this heavy future-y vibe, and i think setting up the date in numbers really cemented that well.
