Swallows swooping low

Over the freshly cut grass

Oh to be a bird

The sun is rising

From under thickening clouds

Dripping with red blood 

Under wooly clouds

Giant mountains soundly sleep 

Fire lights your eyes

Once in blue moon eyes

Falling into a deep pool

How will I get out? 

At sundown she burns

Set the match to the tinder 

Watch her eyes explode 

Dandelion seed

Carried where the wind takes me

Ever uprooted 

If the sky faltered 

Or the Earth swallowed me up

Would I fill a void? 

My own questions hang

Like a noose around my neck

Unanswerable 

Every hair is bathed

In golden evening sunlight 

Another day dies

Overgrown willows

Crowding out the river banks

The work of my hands

Summer grass seed swells 

Awaiting autumn’s scatter

We stand together 

Distant jet planes roar

Dividing our lives in two

If I could just walk… 

Can I untangle 

A trillion synapses 

In separate boxes? 

This body will rot

All memories fade away

Will I die alone? 

Everything after

Coloured by these memories 

Now fading away

What is left behind? 

All your possessions are lost

Only memories

Deep inside your eyes

In the bottomless abyss

I left myself there

The fading sunset

White walls washed with golden light

What will we become? 

Torn into pieces

My fragile heart is shattered 

A broken mirror 

No matter how far

The other side of the world 

Can’t escape myself 

With my eyes still closed 

A mole blindly burrowing

Am I losing sight? 

 My feet are grounded 

Clip these failed Icarus wings

Keep this song bird caged 

A fallen apple

Decomposing where it lays

Am I stuck like this?
