Into a Sleep

Once you cross the mountain

You came across a fountain

You tried to swallow whole

It cut your pretty mouth

You tried to spit it out

But it brought you to the floor

The ground turned over, over and over

And swallowed you whole

You cut its mouth, so it spit you out

You could hardly bear to know it

All the things you lived for, broken

Once the words were spoken

Lost under the dim

Didn't recognize your skin

Couldn't stop the motion

Round her corners

Deep in her shoulders

It searched for you

Curse it to the south

Blood in your mouth

Deep in your shoes
