when i'm by myself

here alone

crystal clear

fresh water falls

hush and dive

got a little cradlefor my brain

a magic pill to kill the pain

keep things nice and slow

my shoulders sag can't stand up straight

i need a crutch to bear my weight

i need some time to heal

burried deep down

Cradle

all the sour seeds i've sewn

now i weep

now i see

how they've grown

as gardens grow

in long straight rows

as high as my head

thick roots below

every time it rains

it leaves a stain

so green so naive.
