The Very Old Man

<br>It`s eerie and it`s awesome<br>how connected two pods scattered on the surface can become,<br>lazy into one.<br>He knows lightning kills the other,<br>she can`t stand to watch his petals fall,<br>it`s better when cascades become like us all.<br><br>Afternoon a golden disengagement leaves a woman<br>with a household left to fill.<br>Sit, and be still, send the voltage cross his ticker,<br>watch the stars they start to flicker, and one by one levels fall.<br><br>Another drink my love, and make it tall enough<br>so I can stand on it and see all you`ve done for me.<br>A world of curves and lines electric,<br>remember how you strung the colored lights from Christmas tree to me?
