Hole.

I followed foot prints etched in stone
Through cracks in the road
Down, down….
I fell
And landed on something vaguely like Hell.
The dark
Shadows glow
Casting a look and claiming my sorrow
Up, Up
In flames.
I erupted in red and burning

Oh snow, come
Bring
Me
The peace of the cold and the numb of my home
Please,
Please, please
Save me
Oh save me
Please save me
Oh Save me

I
Brought you my tears
Collected in vials
Labeled for files
Here
Here, here
Take them
Please take them
Save them from waste
They’re a gift
For, for you
For you and this place
Oh please no
No waste

And you say
“O child,
You came the wrong way
Through the flames and the rain
I know you, you are
Riddled with pain
Lost in your brain
But the cracks are simply to small
For you to fall and be captured my dear

Go back on
And plant your trades
In beautiful shades
Oh colors
Are waiting
They’ll paint you
Beautiful.
Go
Go and sleep now
Wake
Wake up
Sober and dream anew
O Child”

I
Woke in the day.
With a new face
And sheets
Piled on top of me
I
Got
Away
But came back so suddenly
Through all the grain
And I
Smiled that day
And walked in the city
Oh
Ready
To play.
