gone for a while

waylaid by wild ideas and lines

he said

lean into the punches you're taking

all the blood rushed to my mind

'cause these days my head is just racing

thought i was not on my own

but i'm just a dog my tail chasing

and who in their own company

isn't gone for a while?

kate said

what will be will be

and so come into me

be nearer

have no reflection to see

an apparition haunting mirrors

i cut my own arm to the bone

hand of god

save me from razors

here in my own company

i'll be gone in a while

how it will end i don't know

but the universe is not erased yet

alive and well in its company

only gone for a while
