sky rests a little on slate waves

and this road is a black braid under me

that separates the desert and the beach

tides that separate me and you

tides that bind us

and tarmac unfolds, a gray clay band

it is a ribbon of gulls and dust

wind blows across the dunes

lizards airdance on hot sand and

sky rests a little on slate waves

this is the road where she gets

into the back of the black car and i

can see her when i turn my head

or look into the mirror in the dark

and this road is a black braid under me

here died the son of the man who

planted these palm trees all the way

from town to bloody accident spot

they grow so well along the asphalt

that separates the desert and the beach

on the backs of oyster gulls we fly

arrow straight and i think of us

all the time, and life and death

and what we want and the

tides that separate me and you

this is when i kiss your lips and

sit with you on one seat when we drive

warm sides together where we touch

familiar fit and the steady

tides that bind us



zebra can run up to 65km/h. they combine this fast running with excellent stamina and zig-zagging motions to try and evade predators that chase them.
