Entity

Leaning in
Against walls as old 
As my time 

Points in time and space 
Where my history intertwines 
With that of this city 

A cool breeze blows in
A final farewell 
An apology for the hot summer days

If I could lean back
Sink into these walls 
Be one with them

If I could lay myself 
To rest for all time/ In crypts 
Of memories and bargain sales 

If I could be sure 
That I'd never again be separated 
From you my love, my home 

Why/ Then I'd fall back
In an instant disappear
Leave all else behind 

And over me would close 
All that's good and bad 
Memories, thoughts and tears

Flaws and perfection mixed in 
City and girl indistinguishable 
My eyes to close finally/ in contented bliss
