The 443 to nowhere
The bus pulls up...
Deep within my soul,
There's a ray of hope...
Ok. I over-reacted,
Maybe more than that...
My hands are trembling,
As I reach to the flames...
We're gathered here,
Today to say...
With metal to my head
I sat in my room crying...
West winds whip across my face,
Frosts from fences passed fall in my wake...
Confused shapes above my head
Blurred images...
The air’s dry; the ground crunches beneath...
The West Side of a suburban city...
A wish at Christmas.
Sixteen days are left...
Absorb it myself
I step to the mark...
I wake to find I’m dreaming,
And I snap myself back...
