The campfires on the river
Vicki-Lin takes you to a place down by the river, you can hear the boats humming and spend the night with her, though you know she's out of her mind, but that's why you want to stay with her. Over in the harbor there's still tar on old boats, and you're sitting by the fire, burning fresh wood and shells, and in the thick dark smolder you can hear pine needles hissing, and the salt smoldering in the embers, it smells like smoke and smoked fish, and the cabbage you found, weeks or hours ago, there on the beach.
And just when you want to say you couldn't give love, you become one with her soul, and the river gives you the answer that it's always been that way. And you want to travel with her forever, and you close your eyes as you do so, and you know you can trust her, for she has long touched you with her spirit. - Freely after Leonard Cohen
