Let it go he said wild as a cherry
Spin around to control the crowd
Eye and hair motifs outlast the paint
Worn costumes cast aside for drama
The effect of the made-up
Illusions that drive home the stage
Each place that the heart was crossed
Killing time with weapons like words
Being lost under the turning wheel
Thought loose impossible to trace
The movie of our lives watches us
Watching you
It never fades
Nearly every year now a new river forms
we hear your visions look and find the way
with the map we never bought
with the mind we do not control
Abandoned dreams sit in the warehouse
Shelves are empty
The passage takes the unwitting down
to a forgotten land, a world that nobody travels to
unless they fall first, fall and flitter in the sticky air
Brace yourself if you land you may scatter
under the rocks time laid for you to break upon
Now you walk about the orbiting silence
