Poem: 'Lay it out flat'

One of Cam's exquisite poems...

Lay it out flat,
In words that give life to this day,
and rain for tomorrow.

Lets live for the present
like there wont be a next time.

Give meaning to the now,
for its the substance of your futures past.

In an instant
the present is now just a memory,
locked in your mind,
behind this face,
in this body--
a balustrade that fades out the color
of this monotone existence
and amplifies the longings of
my red-beating soul.
