werewolf the birds have stopped their courting, and it's someone else's sun. sleep will hold you when familiar arms are far away. and then lalalalalala

i've smoothed the cares from your forehead and i've covered you in blankets of memory and forgetting. and then lalalalalalala.

the rain is hushing the stars, stories hide in every shadow. but all of them envy the warmth of your bed and your dreams. and then lalalalalala

cars pass in silly sounds, like amorous humpback whale songs underwater and very very far away. they're busy rebuilding the world for you to knock down, just like legos. making you pop tarts and then lalalalalala.

i'll open up the curtain, the moon reflects full on something else's distant light, like your eyes which i know are in love, just brimming with morning but sleep now and i'll just lalalalala.

and then lalalalalala.
