Rules of travel come undone
You drop your compass, I was always waiting
Maislin sheets with tired arms
Our Hieroglyphic limbs entangled gasping

Your homeward bound your lost and found

Steering shops without a stern,
I lay beneath your wings that soared like condors
I wipe the eyes of all storms, dramatic landscapes fall away to valleys
