Moonlight Drive

We took a moonlight drive

down by the oceanside

parked and watched the tide.

A night between days, starry

sky full of wonder, seafood

salty ocean smell, silence of

vastness, wave song washing

ears.

We had a past, but it's over now,

the future a cloudy looking glass,

only this mirror here as we eat our

burgers with the top down...this

romantic friendly vision of a world.

A couple of other cars, lonely as 

de Chirico or Hopper, who knows

what universes go on in there?

Carnival music on the radio, a

shooting star...we walk on the sand

but don't stray too far...whispering

about ourselves to each other, and

all the people that have drowned...

we know some of them, still around.
