Specula

Pain always rushes back

Like a child to mother's arms

Like the urge to go to sleep

Like a spoiled begging dog

I walk the same way at the same time every day

I walk the same way at the same time every day

I walk the same way at the same time every day

I walk the same way at the same time every day

And I light a cigarette to keep me safe

I think of you with hoop earrings and beautiful braids

And I run towards something I can flee from

I walk the same way at the same time every day

I walk the same way at the same time every day

I walk the same way at the same time every day

I walk the same way at the same time every day

And I watch die what gave me life

The specula that holds my eyes

And it's slowly closing all the time

Misery drones on inside

Endless like a baby's cry

Misery drones on inside

Endless like a baby's cry

Misery drones on inside

Endless like a baby's cry

Misery drones on inside

Endless like a baby's cry
