Red leaves swirl in the misty haze of the night
Footsteps in the distance steadily grow softer
I lunge towards the tree, fists free
I'm dragged back, dripping

The cars go around in each direction
The lights are dancing , which way is up
The stars are blending with the leaves and the trees
and I lay back as I'm dragged dripping

The mist and tree's and leaves and stars
Smashed together and made to come as one
And the cars continue their daily route
As I'm thrown beneath the leaves or the stars and I stay there, seeping

Finally the sun, the way up, the way out
But my mouth is sewn shut and my limbs are made of ice
And then it is sunset, night and sunrise
Repeating before my frozen eyes

Forgive me
