( EARTHQUAKE )

My child sleep well in that land
that wet land you wondered
Will I have the time to wonder?
It’s tik • takin’ so fast
it’s going away
Don’t waste your time with silly questions

Am I being silly?
Silly and lazy — that’s all I do
lying around and lazying around the clock tonight
The clock is here again.
What is it asking me?
To stop and think again
counting 1 to 3
1,2,3
Hide and seek for me, my child

Once upon a time,
linearity of time was threatened by a song
A song that’s mine — A lullaby —

My child my child
Don’t fall
From my arms
to the ground
My child, my touch
touch the clouds, don’t harm
and play around and soften
Create a blanket with your feathers in the ground
and ly next to me and
please don’t lie, my child
cry and scream and speak the truth

poke poke poke
I wanted to tell you something
I love you — in the middle of a struggling ground
