Much too far for a head to roll
She fell asleep hoping to wake in another world
She soon learned how to fall asleep
The world behind his closed eyes was even stranger
So they moved on and on
Then she signalled him to follow
What age am I waiting for to come to myself?
He was dangerous
She thought her own burdensome thoughts
The day was half gone
Call upon me when this happens, and you shall live
A person from the other world came
The birds were silent
The girl was exactly where she’d been before
I closed my eyes
I smiled at the swiftly approaching lights and laughed soundlessly
I’d walk away without a cent
Things were falling into balance
How long has this been going on?
You’re trying on expressions
All the snores from the last night have stuck to the walls
Nothing could shut the noise out
I’ll be home late. Get some sleep.
Attempting to break out of the back yard
Staring at each other, we were exchanging some signal
This was not a place where a child got up at night to ask for a glass of water
He seemed genuinely surprised
I have always tried to avoid pain
That was the only beautiful thing I ever had
He said the sweetest things to me
Only the last part was true
