outside it’s warm
the days are long and the nights
are made of milk
are made of cream
I call you up
you call me down and around
the river bends like an ox
the river bends
   
GEG I can’t see the trees for the dark
I’m on my knees out in the park
ten years too late and moving fast
and every breath will be second to last

I don’t believe in anything
I crack an egg on the side of the pan
the moon is full of itself
I think I see the lay of the land
