Sasong

In the city I wander

worms get smashed under

all those people are busy with things

And here I go crazy

and there I get lazy

like a calf that is growing six legs

My body's slowly

figuring out how

it fits in the moments of missing

Steady in my thoughts

I soften the tight knots

My stomach's alright, though it's twisting

On a beautiful surf

I found a seaweed person

in hot light reflected green on the sand

I was a little uncertain

that some things might hurt me

in the night I hid my eyes with my hand

Then off of the breeze

I heard a sudden burst and

in fright imagined thumps on the land

There is a house on the trees

where all the shadows work and

they don't make their plans your plans

And maybe I'm naive

to say you should just breathe

and float out of pain when it's hissing

'Cause here I sit crying

and she's not here, I am

I can't handle a moment she's missing

Then I eat with my people

and I laugh at the steeples

'cause Hell is my own bad thinking

I know that the rain moves

and enters the dream pools

and diamonds are days with fire

And you help the sneeze

for as long as you could

just to cast it to the sneezing void

I think I have a disease

that makes my hearing imperfect

but at least I make some wonderful noise

And back in the trees

I saw a shadow's birth, but

no one said it's a girl or a boy

You can take all you want

from another person

In the end you find you lose your voice

In the city I wander

worms get smashed under

the streets where all those people are busy

Here I go crazy

but there I feel lazy

like a calf that is growing six legs

My body's slowly

figuring out how

it fits into moments of missing
