A fever de Badlees

With flu
i dream of you
in light as blue as neon when it's blue
past visions of rolling hills
in movie stills
a panoramic stew
above the scientific
element, content
we spy the view

a fever's brought me close to you
in ways we can not be
a fever's brought me close to you
in ways we can not be
even in memory
Sublime
in double time
we climb to where convention swerves and leans
'couple-a-beers
in a tent by sears
by a giant plastic nativity scene
in color dogs endure
i'm sure
the light you've given me is green

I mouth petitions
oh those soft renditions
of the ones i've come to lean on
for you
again, in blue
and straightening a photographic dawn
may i experience
the sense of
where i dream you when i'm gone
(chorus 2x)
