You are a white cloud
Coming down my spine
Fire moves its fingers along
My pain
But two black eyes remain
Resolved in tears
And
The cloud becomes a song
I heard in the fog
And over the city
While you were counting
The money
For yesterday’s hospital
Bed
We are not playing a game
Of sorrow
We are trying to grow
Wings
And
Fly
