Can you hear me?

I don't love anybody else

Keep you near me

Just like i try to keep myself near



All the givers

And all the rivers in the world

Cannot quench it

The arid desert that you 

Bring to everyone you know 



I see you counting lovers in the street

I see you kissing anybody's feet

You are a kitten caught up in a tree

I see you climb away



Tiny birdling

Scrambling for any scraggy tree

I am thinking

You make your nest where none can be

In the summer

The streets are waving in the heat

I am thinking about the water that you keep

In the corners of your mouth



Climb away



I see you counting lovers in the street

I see you licking anybody's feet

You are a kitten caught up in a tree

You are unreachable by me

I see you climb away
