Dwellings

take me to the deep depths of that cave
throw me down the well
and let me hide in darkness and echoes
You know, those things that repeat themselves infinitely
let me engrave my story in these stone walls
with nothing but the nails on my fingers
let my blood bring colour and paint the barriers of my new home
Let the little drip droplets of water ring a percussionist beat
and when that crisp cool air chills my bones
let it shiver down my spine so as to make me dance to those tiny aquatic rhythms
I will stand in this solitary confinement
let me sleep here til my pigmentation runs dry
Until the sun and sound of life makes me jump
Makes my insides leap out of my throat
Let me find excitement in these daily things that I seem to be taking for granted
Let my mind grow curiosity
Let my heart grow feelings
Let my eyes grow vision so as to see things more clearly
Don't break down these walls prematurely
I know you care for me, I know this
Let me set myself on fire and smoke me out
let me choke on my ashes to free me
For this is the only way
The only way dear
You can keep me from leaving
