The winds are so icy Texture are of dusty fences and There is a tree so large Facing some windows and agony They scream while he plays in his head The thing they ought to say to survive Then closes his weary stark eyes and holds his breath for the pause longs to its ugly peak Then he's walking past the headlights Wind messing with his hair And this he sees A window about the very tree with moonlight Lit like Prometheus' fire or a very happy dream But striking nothing but a knife on a kitchen counter He moves through a medow and past the windy symphony He witnessed the knife cutting itself to match the sight of the tree He's on his way to ask for help But he's too stupid and prideful Just like his father before him He hates him the most and still isn't free
