hiding out behind the birch
and frozen lakes
the view of things seems clearer here
and my mistakes
don't fill out the capacious bags
that I dragged upstairs
gives me time to grow a love
where I had fear
how long will you wait
at the shady end of the slope
am I already late
with my pyramid sized hopes
still boy holds his breath
'til something appears
all dumb all deaf all turned over
to the wolves
stepping out of everything
to nothingness
cause at every tick of the clock
our time weighs
a little less
how long will you wait
at the shady end of the slope
am I already late
with my pyramid sized hopes
still boy holds his breath
'til something appears
all dumb all deaf all turned over
still boy waves his hand
one time too many
all dumb all deaf all turned over
to the wolves
like the chickens need the fox
and daylight
longs for the dark
I excuse myself to go and make my
mark
still boy holds his breath
'til something appears
all dumb all deaf all turned over
still boy waves his hand
one time too many
all dumb all deaf all turned over
to the wolves
