Sun Scream

from Selves by Misty Aeons

/

lyrics

I took a walk along the power lines
slicked with sunshine
and watched the kids gape at
their screaming suns
for they couldn’t wait till dark
to start the sparks
but neither can you

And you’ve got pocketfuls of particles
but I’ve got none
so rest your head on someone else’s knee
and do it quickly
‘cause I’m not ready for you
I can’t be ready for you
and you’re not ready for me

Your son is screaming in the living room
Won’t you tend to him?
Don’t pretend you don’t hear him call
Hear him crying from behind these paper walls
I know it’s hard
I know it’s so hard
I know you’ve been barred
and that I’ve scarred you

Don’t let go
Don’t let go of me
I will try to release you

Which leaves me:
the longest light who teases
the shortest night it precedes
And you:
the butterfly between
sole and sun-soaked concrete
