Blue Light Disco - Olympia

Sometimes I don’t know what you see in me

The loose knit of what TV used to mean

You get caught up in the theme songs

Not the blue reach of kissed stars

Or the cracked teeth of sets in the gutter

You see it as

A blue light disco

(Falling on the waves)

And hope falls like cut kite strings

Releasing paper parts from their diamond dreams

When the heart’s at sea level

Gonna see a simple light

As a blue light disco

In the backyard like some drunk uncle

A jumping castle is taking on water

More water to learn how to walk on

And in sleep with our hands held

Tied to this point, as we dream

Of different cities to fold into

Tree roots

Like desire, ends

A thousand souls

Found their way here as sand

Having seen you from the edges as

This

A blue light disco
