Mattie
Early girl, backwards girl
floppy, skinny little girl
blue skin, brown hair and the prettiest little lips
She never was hard to look at
even when filthy and foul
she extracts a father's smile almost every time.
Light year dream
Beautiful points of light
expand into vacant space
infinite lengths of time
this is the road ahead
a lonely light-year dream
I've come so far
who could have known
soft lips and warm hands
could make going home so hard?
Never be the same again
since the day I let her in
since the day I beamed her up
since the day I inhaled her breath
in geosynchronous orbit above her parents' house.
expand into vacant space

I've come so far
who could have known
soft lips and warm hands
could make going home so hard?
Never be the same again
since the day I let her in
since the day I beamed her up
since the day I inhaled her breath
in geosynchronous orbit above her parents' house.
