Never enough to know
that fireworks don’t always explode
40 days have passed us by
Left smoldering glowing skies
no one knows your early story…
Blessed be the creaking stair
warning you of all that you fear
Heavy breath and humid air
that swallows angels’ dusty prayers
No one knows your early story…
heard it through the open window
whispers in the form of curses
Floating on the Ely Sky
Beneath our backs dark water flows
Million stars and northern lights
witness your secret undertow
No one knows your early story…
heard it through the broken window
whispers in the form of curses
…already gone
Will you promise me just this:
steal the dollars hidden under
First you walk and then you run
turn to dust your father figure
Steal away on the midnight bus
connect the dots across the water
Save yourself and only you
One last eye to the Ely Sky…
