By June

We will meet halfway
past the ifs and Mays
Oh June, my love

She's a six on hold,
ageless age of gold
Oh June, my love

Fireflies set ablaze
undying nights,
ashes of the longest day

A crow flies over Rome,
her sidereal home
Oh June, my love

Come and shine on me,
graceful starlike three
Oh June, my love

Fireflies set ablaze
undying nights,
ashes of the longest day

Fireflies set ablaze
undying nights,
ashes of the longest day

Scatter a new dawn

Within a shrine
of pine
twain intertwine

like Yin and Yang
spinning a string into a song
like china and oolong
swirling in a sarong
writing unaware that all along

it was you,
come dawn anew

Meet,
dream,
stay
by June
