Wax
Can you remember?
When you were young
All the lightning and sirens and wondering aimlessly
Tell me how often did you say the names that you once called
Run to them now
They’re made out of concrete and fueled by dismantled
Repetitive sidewalks and drippings from candles, they’ll burn you alive
Speak to them now
I’d ask for a recap but your hands are shaking from
Secrets and torture the elders mistaking of fool’s gold
Clap for them now
Yes they’re misleading I honor your reprise
Stop they’re retreating we need them back into our lives!
