awake my dear friend,
I don't understand you yet
but you've got my blood
we'll buy you tiny shoes,
to fill your little heart with joy,
empty our pockets
your eye shine is less
towards me, more towards them,
moving boxes now.
badly tied nooses,
a hospital trip, red lights
you wanted to see them.
hair is greying now,
your newest kin wail loudest,
the world will quiet soon.
