We know the secret to everything

that circles the earth
is what moons on other
planets hope to be

from the dubious
to the subliminal ways
of things that leave no shadow

and go the
splintering pieces

make sharp angles with the light
and fall too fast

whisper tonight please

||||||||||||||||||||||||||

And I can't fight that nothing
from the field it fences in

So as I'm walking down the street
I just stop and grin

Cause that door is latched
And double-locked

And panic will soon

set in

||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There’s this quiet inside my head
that’s so loud
Like daylight that won’t go away
A thin skin of quiet
With silence bursting to get out
Everything one step hushed
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
