let the day play out

let the day play out
let the kite string go
let the winds whip
let the snow blow.

let the day play out
let your heart open wide
let the winds whip
let go with the tide.

let the day play out
let your soul to my hand
let the winds whip
let your body fall to sand.

** for p. because one blustery winter day, kite-flying high, at the beach you said these exact words, "let the day play out." these same words i transcribed to my heart, but also on an old sales slip in my jacket pocket, using purple lipstick, because the other thing you like to playfully say is, "you should write down some of the shit i say!"
