Capillaries

Just as capillaries of the leaf
Feed verdant blooms & cycle through
Just as the swelling of the seas
Are roiling shades of muddy blue

I've gone to find a proxy
So don't buy the line he sells you

Just as the reason is escaping us
I catch your eye & fully recall
The way perfection is so unjust
It fills up every way that we fall

Our two little ones, oh the little ones
Will carry us, will carry us forth
Half as mine & half as yours
