Where my space ends
where your space begins
is where we meet
Don't enter mine uninvited
advice giving guest
who claims to bear goodwill and myrrh
alongside gold and frankincense
For your ancient gifts
do not solve my problem
of returning to an empty home

My mom went to the store
handed over a coin
the keeper gave her back two
Yes, my mom does that too
it's called 'change' they say
still doesn't make much sense
How irrational, these grown-ups are
Today my son asked me
why do some people live on the streets
if we are all children of God
Yes, you have a point
we justify it all
but we don't really know
How irrational, we grown-ups are

Fragrance lingers in the stairwell
I ascend the same path a thousand times
It’s a cold morning
in the empty concrete space
I breathe in the familiar scent
that once filled my heart with pleasure
Pleasure that turned to pain
with its passing beauty

Do you still dream of things
you want but cannot have
But you think you could've gotten
if only you were good enough
These nights are awfully quiet
without the chatter of your old dreams
The crickets chirping
a moth banging on the window
No you can't get in
just like I can't touch the flame
Inside my memory
that lit up my room
In the sound of bedtime stories

There were things floating in Keelung harbour
that shouldn't have been there
The soil was soaked in red
marking the arrival of that spring
For years and years
rain came and washed away what remained
Children came into this land
kicking and screaming
Scream, little ones
many came before have lost their voice
Many will be fighting
for your right to scream
As you set your foot on this soil
that once carried the dreams
Of silent old men
telling stories with the look in their eyes
