Deep in the loins of the night
The strangest holes bleed out weak light
They could feel a sad eye peeking in
Through the brambles the glow of a pin
In the forest
A world unto its own
Why the shaking
Of these roots
On this day

Hard-break waves on a rock-filled shore
The darkest rolls of a foamy swell
We could black out the pain like a pill
So the grays feel like color again
Salty mist

Why the holding
Onto this
For so long

Here atop the cold metal spire
The wind couldn't scream much higher
You could end the suffering some way
Be finally floating today
Smoke-filled lungs
Ancient puffs
Why the dreaming
Of your end
At this height
