No Name #6

Angel in the pantry
Open up my eyes
Said no, said no, said no

Here's my little angel 
See me to my needs
Said no, said no, said no

Random synchronization 
Let the light shine through
Said no, said no, said no

Daybreak 
You're on your own
Daybreak 
You're on your own

Sinister little smile
Let me enter you
Say no, say no, say no

Fire in the pantry
Stable underneath
Your light, your light, your light

Hear my little problem 
See me to my years
Said no, said no, said no

The fire's there to take you home
The fire's there to take you home
Let's open up 
Let's open up
The light shines through and then you're gone
The light shines through and then you're gone

In a Folded Field

There Is Always a Difference

It takes too much
Says the man who does not know
He does not try
He has no home
He has no bones
They belong to dust
He belongs to dust

I am on my way for all you know
With flashlight and firefly
What a light was made
Upon returning home
Flickerings
by fleeting conversation
unspoken words turn to forgetting
(with distorted realizations)
speak them openly 
and this pulse won't outlast

I can't pretend
but the August sun will never set 
the warmth has never left
I think I will stop breathing when the dust is gone
The earth ever-suspended in the unvarying warm air
Never will I be idle
The dust needs a gust
but I am not dust
