A Strange Night

5/29/15

I feel the wrath no one can see

Dancing in mirrors deeper beneath

I dance and I dance,

and I run and I run

Please just tell me I’m the only one

Though no one knows that which I know

C’mon people!

 It’s time to let go

And now I’ve got to make a confession

Perversity is my ardent profession

Turn up your eyebrows,

turn up your chins

You haven’t felt the weight of my sins

Hey little dog!

 Let go of that bone

My favorite white cat,

I named her Joan

You’ve got one shot to make it all real

I love you to death,

Though I’ve no one to feel

Don’t leave me for long, my dear

You know I’m never leaving here

Where we form new life in a single embrace

Is this what you call fear?

I have been afraid

My stomach turns,

when I see your shadows

I’m going crazy with anticipation

When nothing comes true,

 I feel nothing

And nothing is always true

I care not for the safety of the others that loom

Nor for those that crawl

beneath the glow of the moon
