I take a pair of scissors and sit by a window
Your hair on my lap smells like work
The wind takes them from between my fingers
To play with the city's dust
I know a little boy
He goes to fishing by the lake on early mornings
The light has discolored an old photograph,
The water's surface, and the sweater's stripes
I watch the boy from a distance
So I won't scare him or the fish
It has been some time from the last fishing trip
I touch your neck, its curve has changed
You fall asleep against my knee
Trek trough the woods to go back to fishing
I put the scissors down and stay still
So I won't scare you or the fish
