The sun sets fire to the rooftops

Crowded along the shore

Ships bellow their goodbyes

Fading out of the harbor

–

My port of call is sinking

Into sequin blue

As I’ve always adored

Alive,

Beaming into sunrise

–

The unconquerable noise

Is my secret lullaby

What I keep in the desert

Amid the wind and the sand

–

That jewel strewn shore

Is where I live each night

On the one living star

In a sky full of ghosts
