the road kicks up dust from past loves'
it settles to the side of the road as i speed through to the open space
i see her body as lit by two aromatic candles
i connect the smells to her body
i connect her to the light
from her breast i look up into the eyes that reflect the love that shines from my own
she blinks
and i smile into the back of her closed eyes
i smile-
into the back of her eyes-
she's got her daddy's smile
and she's got her mama's sweet voice
she's got me to love her
and the world to ponder about
i'm on a lover's high
not a damn thing besides her in my head
i'm flying through the cloudy days that are all around me
and i'm smiling
smiling
because i've got an image of a brown girl in my wallet and
a heavy heart in my chest...
