Remains

Violet Green

there's a young girl
who lives in the trees
she went up high to sing
and blew the first breeze

she plays with the birds
and makes lullabies
that dim skies to night time

she asks them how they
grow their wings
she only wants to fly

whispers and whistles
her dreams float south
they follow warmer wind

she melts the leaves
and freezes
time
until spring
when she tells the sun
to light up the world
so he shines

Afternoon with Winter

I drink tea with Einstein,
share cigarettes with Thomas.
Peter Pan is in a cage sleeping by a lion,
she's been tamed.
Wind and heat collide
between guitar beats
water droplets
bowls of ash and seed
songs of planes
and cries of dead leaves.
Empty rooms
quiet eyes,
noon is as good as night time.
Bright light sleep
snow melting my feet
erasing footprints,
making tracks
all the cold blocks back.

i hope he's ok

hook

i never meant
to grow old
the second star
was so far
out of reach
we're moving at light speed
you and me
i lose my breath
i rest
i sweat
i can't keep up
you're far away
the clocks change
we're on different days
keep my window in your sight
second house
to the right
