nothing matters

easy now
the first caress
of chamomile and cashmere
proof the sun was marked
to fade with signs of smoke
cedar burned
and there we go
floating down the valley
siding there with others
loves we should have known
before the chill
before the rash
of centipedes foretelling
the strength to come
assaulting our regrets
hold me close
keep me warm
tell me nothing matters
but the sound of two hearts beating
in the dark

in the freeze
before tomorrow comes
wrap your love around me
breathe in me your summer
find in me
your sun
