I rest at last
Beneath starry skies...

I would feel
Terrible...

Head in the planets
I am...

So today
The last train to Wulumuqi left...

Not today, not today,
We've been through this before...

In days when I was immortal
Before the universe...

The crackling of dry leaves
Rolling over wet asphalt...

Every street empty
If it weren't for the children...

The snow that inhabited our city
Is spewn in slushy piles...

The city buried
In three feet of snow...

To take a step
Out into the open...

"Sticks and stones
May break my bones&quot...
