oh, my home

is a frozen lake

shadows skate past

figures, i say

i laughed out

at the lines they made

while overhead

they flicker and dissipate


saying, i was born a spark

and i burned

burned, myself a watermark

i left, myself a trail

to find my way

when i fell, a stray


and i walked a whale

didn't rest, for many a day old

to sing, to say, oh

i will be again

i have already been


oh, i know i am going home

but i don't know when

i don't know when


the foolish crack

but i will be here again

to ruin and spit in
