Lamp Burning Low

from You Are Alive by Nova Soon

lyrics

A lamp left burning low
by her window,
to guide me home
through the swirling winter;
whole town deep in sleep.
Pale stars strung tight
round the cold ribs of trees.

We rush in from the storm,
and spin round her dorm.
Her laughs make me warm.
She says, ‘Pass your wine glass,
and go draw all the blinds.
Let’s pretend the end came,
but left us alive.’

Now we’re curled up inside,
hearing the universe sigh.

In bed, her head on my chest,
breathing her breath.
Slow rise. Slow fall.
Though all the wonders we dream of
still wait out in the snow,
for now we’re leaving
our love burning low.
