It's winter and in my heart there is a mouse in the walls I can hear it chewing at frayed edges gathering straw scratching at the foundation hiding in the fringe I know it's there but I can't quite see it.

My heart is a burrow
It's winter and in my heart there is a mouse in the walls I can hear it chewing at frayed edges gathering straw scratching at the foundation hiding in the fringe I know it's there but I can't quite see it.
