i — the last evening
You said you'd wait up.
So I left the porch light on, and started the long way home.
ii — leaving the blue
Everything gets quiet up here.
The noise you make to fill a room doesn't reach this high.
iii — past whole worlds
I passed whole worlds without stopping.
None of them were where you were.
Notice how long the nothing lasts.
This is the part the films cut.
iv — all of it, at once
And then — all of it, at once.
Every colour I ever wanted to show you. I kept thinking: you would have loved this.
v — the one light
So I left one light on too.
Right about here. So you'd know which way I went.
Goodnight.
I made it somewhere beautiful.
You can turn the porch light off now.
— hold still a moment —
