still boy

hiding out behind the birch

and frozen lakes

the view of things seems clearer here

and my mistakes

don't fill out the capacious bags

that i dragged upstairs

gives me time to grow a love

where i had fear

how long will you wait

at the shady end of the slope?

am i already late

with my pyramid-sized hopes?

stillboy holds his breath

till something appears

all dumb

all deaf

all turned over

to the wolves

stepping out of everything

to nothingness

'cause at every tick of the clock

our time weighs

a little less

how long will you wait

at the shady end of the slope?

am i already late

with my pyramid-sized hopes?

stillboy holds his breath

till something appears

all dumb

all deaf

all turned over

stillboy waves his hand

one time too many

all dumb

all deaf

all turned over

to the wolves

like the chickens need the fox

and daylight longs for the dark

i excuse myself to go and make my

mark

stillboy holds his breath

till something appears

all dumb

all deaf

all turned over

stillboy waves his hand

one time too many

all dumb

all deaf

all turned over

to the wolves
