I get these visions of you and me
Sunset, silhouettes and shadows
long red gown
flapping in the night breeze
there's you heading uphill
against the stinging chill
all for a dollar
and maybe the thrill of it
recurring visions hit me
this time, they sting
my arms lash out
to grip a scene
to freeze and peek
to feel, at least
but Like a rifle
they're long gone
Long enough to trick the mind
Long enough for my eye to see
nothing but a glimpse
of nothing
