"Did I drive you away?
...But I won't let you down,
(Oh yeah, yeah, yes I will)
"Sparks," Coldplay

slumbering labs
one black one brown
cannot resist sirens
just like us
everything else falls away
no rocks no hard places
these dogs howl
raising a chorus against
new emergencies
---
some call me a non-believer
but i pray in secret ceaselessly
like Franny in her world of Glass
self-serving and sincere as blood
crying out in my mind for the faeries
to steal their way to your side
circling round chanting dancing
rousing you from sleep and dreams
reminding you of every every thing
some call me a non-believer
because that is easier than the truth
my bones howl always for you
---
you’ll come looking for me again
(no you won’t but a man needs faerie tales)
and everything will look nearly the same
except for the decay abandonment brings
you will be frantic and earnest and true
like arrows raining down shouts of fire
and i will be well below ground tripped
fallen deep into the hole i dug all along
we could add a soundtrack and slow motion
for others to watch as if this were just a film
and i wonder
i wonder if the howling of all those hearts
would rouse every dog to its feet to sing along
