Samurai

Samurai
When you came into
my room last night
and took off all your clothes
did you think i would resist
letting you inside
did you think i could resist you
my favorite samurai
You swam across the bedroom
drunk on my champagne
you got into the air
across the river wye
and pushed aside your headstone
my favorite samurai
Then you showed me something
i didn't know
how to let go
i was falling
through the tivoli sky
expecting to fly
expecting to fly
When i stood beside your tomb
last night
recalling how you rose
did you think i would persist
refusing to die
see how i've persisted
my favorite samurai
