Ani DiFranco

Oh My My

Ani DiFranco


your body 
forshortened 
below 
your shoulders 
your face 
so close 
it's out 
of focus 
way down 
the hallway 
comes the sound 
of your shoes 
that is what i 
what i think about 
when i think about 
you 

if we let our love 
off of its leash 
do you fear like i fear 
how fierce it could be? 

your headlights 
sweeping 
across my 
ceiling 
the breadth of 
my smile now 
the depth of 
my feeling 
way down in my dark life 
a shaft of your light 
shines through 
and that is what i 
what i think about 
when i think about 
you 

if we let our love 
off of its leash 
do you fear like i fear 
how fierce it would be? 

o my my
