We dance to the sound of sirens

when i try and tell you words
in so awkward ways
i walk sweaty palmed with torment
who barrels my temple
so i splutter the truth



i'm sorry my love
somewhere in the past
few minutes i lost you
i'll just pull my knees to chest
and you can tell me
what i missed

oh, before you start
i saw the sunrise this morning
and i spread my wings below it
i slipped into the breeze going by
and how i flew!
tomorrow i shall wake you
and we shall leap at once
into that slipstream
you can hold my ankles
and we shall form a human chain
shall i speak some more? ok
i scatter more words on our conversation
for interests sake only
i could sit here with you forever
your breath would be enough
