You think it’s dead.
But from the earth a hand, a head.
Reminders of what wasn’t said.
A darting eye lands on flesh crawling near.
Recalls a sound missing from your ear.
The only song you’d ever hear given the choice.
But I won’t run,
though these knees are feeble.
I wouldn’t flee,
even if these legs were able.
I can’t believe what I’m seeing.
This thing was buried deep
in the clay. It was tucked away.
I had only just got my fingers clean.
But I’ll break free.
I will learn to run once more.
Make a bee-line to the tree line.
Through the forest lies the shore.
You thought it was dead,
but now you wish you’d never met,
But I’ll break free.
I will learn to run once more.
Make a bee-line to the tree line.
Through the forest lies the shore.
So if one day you look out to the sea,
on a clear night,
see a green light,
know that’s all that’s left of me.
