Description
strolling by a quiet scene
staring up towards the sky
bleak and barren lacking sheen
cant read cant sleep
useless motion useless thoughts
stuck counting sheep
to and from and back again
cube of steel chugging chugging along
square of sky and grass in tin
unsettling blackness creeps through my veins
everyday a new taxing toll
gutted out like an empty bowl
Strolling by a quiet scene,
Staring up towards the sky,
Bleak and barren, lacking sheen,
Down I go, there you lie.
Can’t read—can’t sleep,
Useless motion, useless thoughts,
Stuck counting sheep,
On the ‘sill, your planted pots.
To and from and back again,
Cube of steel chugging chugging along,
square of sky and grass in tin.
You’ll be pissed I’m still humming this song
Unsettling blackness creeps through my veins,
Everyday a new taxing toll,
Gutted out like an empty bowl,
Then you reach out, filling the hole.
