oh my my

Ani Difranco

your body
forshortened
below
your shoulders
your face
so close
it's out
of focus
way down
the hallway
comes the sound
of your shoes
that is what i
what i think about
when i think about
you

if we let our love
off of its leash
do you fear like i fear
how fierce it could be?

your headlights
sweeping
across my
ceiling
the breadth of
my smile now
the depth of
my feeling
way down in my dark life
a shaft of your light
shines through
and that is what i
what i think about
when i think about
you

if we let our love
off of its leash
do you fear like i fear
how fierce it would be?

o my my
