Noe Venable Climb
Can you hear me?
I don't love anybody else
Keep you near me
Just like i try to keep myself near
All the givers
And all the rivers in the world
Cannot quench it
The arid desert that you
Bring to everyone you know
I see you counting lovers in the street
I see you kissing anybody's feet
You are a kitten caught up in a tree
I see you climb away
Tiny birdling
Scrambling for any scraggy tree
I am thinking
You make your nest where none can be
In the summer
The streets are waving in the heat
I am thinking about the water that you keep
In the corners of your mouth
Climb away
I see you counting lovers in the street
I see you licking anybody's feet
You are a kitten caught up in a tree
You are unreachable by me
I see you climb away
