winter’s burning
on the edges
take a walk with me
full bodied shadow
blood is dripping
from my knee
at the house in the sharp bend
my knee would mend
there’s another system
to comprehend
and there’s her face
so light and pale
i’m taking on the monkey trail
through the sloe bushes
apple seeds
your other needs
and sheets of other life
off the cliff
into the ocean
you can take a dive
will you remain if i slip away
to where the power flows
take two steps from the path
and you’ll see
how the feeling goes
won’t you
walk with me
silent on the meadow
on the way here
there’s a tree
with the fates of autumn
i can hibernate
with the sides of me, your mind
i can relocate
i pick any number
from the boundary
any king will do for me
yes
any king
you remain as i slip away
to where the power flows
take two steps from the path
and you’ll see
how the feeling goes
won’t you
walk with me
yes
walk
with
me
