Us, Outside.

I know,
__when you stole my car
__and drove away.
__when you stayed.

__That when your voice
__hits a three note chord
__and echoes.

__There is so much
__hair in my face
__so much nightly disgrace.

__But I know.

__I know that when I
__can be still and quiet
__like a Zelda in the woods,

__the mottled sun
__will shine green
__on both of us.

__And through the trees
__he vaguely sees
__a child running away,
__like a chased thing.
