A Single Explosion Tab

by Matthew Good


                     
I dreamt last night of sirens
                   
By flashlight I had found you

You just held my hand
                           
By the bright lights in some ICU
         
Even the planless have a plan
                  
I can’t write love songs when I’m on these things
           
I’m affable, responsible
    
But hard to be around
                            
It’s correctible and they’re right you know
        
It’s as easy as it sounds
                                          
It’s as easy as it sounds
                                             
It’s all as easy as it sounds

I dreamt last night I saw you
                             
A single spark explosion negotiating with the dead
                            
By the bright lights in some ICU
      
On my chest you put your head
         
And said there you are

There you are

There’s my heart
