Sightings

Raised By Swans

another clue in the codebook i found 
where a nervous undercurrent’s hushed 
by forest sounds 
young love 
you lit them up from above 
a bird of prey 
your talons around the sun 
angel on the Tiergarten’s edge 
it’s been an empty sort of feeling 
keeping now from then 
we’re just echoes bullets set up 
impact lost 
and whole worlds to defend 
random motion 
petty thief 
lost boys walking in their sleep 
some places i’ll never leave 
oh my old friend 
the dotted line descends 
lose the path to find it underfoot again 
where do i begin 
where do i begin 
another clue in the codebook i found 
where a furious undercurrent 
dragged a wall down 
young love 
the targets we fall short of 
shuttered searchlights 
attacks we can’t recall 
train circling a midnight square 
swore i saw your shadow there 
my heart leapt into the air 
oh my old friend 
this can’t be the end 
of the story we’re pretending that we’re in 
where do i begin 
where do i begin
