new years part 1


i've waltzed on a roof
and then waltzed in the woods
but did not know love until
box stepping in the
ocean, too drunk to see
the wine bottle, screaming
resolution
we can feel so alive
the cops spotlight found us
scattering off the sand
like cockroaches
avoiding the light
and then we went right back
that's what love is
we finished our dance and
you sang a million moons
down my spine
my love, the ocean
pork, kraut, black eyed peas,
all for good luck
