You're ******* in time ticking choices away white light fills the night till its brighter than day cacophonous voices can say what they say from the dusk till the meaningless dawn Then secured by a seatbelt to leather and foam the speedo's at zero six yards from your home a million neighbours, completely alone you're a shell, you're a shade, you're a pawn But glance through the windscreen and look at the sky a seagull, suspended, is catching your eye you sense a connection but cannot say why as it tilts on the wind and is gone Then the trees you drive under are sharpened and clear they're humming and pulsing beneath the veneer you're dazed and confused as you shift up a gear dumbly wondering what's going on You turn on the satnav for guidance and sound but its whisper can't silence this thing you have found from the shimmering clouds to the roots of the ground Is a force that is ancient and new You try to pretend like a terrified child that the world can be binary indexed and filed and the sparkling eye of the jackdawish wild isn't focused intently on you But there is no denying this fluttering clutch that is moss-furred and feathered, a hurricane touch that you knew long ago and you've missed it so much with a longing that's howling and black But she's patiently stationed there just out of sight as you've built your resistance from pixel and byte Rebellious teenager, pitiful plight she is waiting to welcome you back Yes Nature is waiting to welcome you back She's beneath every slab and behind every crack at the nethermost end of the bitterest track she is waiting to welcome you back Forever forgiving, unloosed unconfined she is mad she is chaos she's love and she's blind volcanic voluptuous core of mankind she is waiting to welcome you back.
