A Reminder Written In Tired Urgency

Does anyone have a coaster,
It's an urgent request.

There's an urgency surrounding
Your late night emergency call,

Your midnight light for a lift,
Your thrashing in darker waters.

I'm thinking of you elsewhere,
Oh ripped wing fairy,

Frozen in a garden of statues.
Elsewhere I am moving toward you.

And from other points of view,
I am too much of a saint for you:

Well, and you are too much of an angel
For such a malice as this world.

The world that I waver on to and fro,
And that is here to protect you from itself.
