I woke up in the dead of night |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
No light no shape no sound but I |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
I was wide-eyed but saw nothing |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
Kneeling down, feeling around |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
I felt the fur of something |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
In total dark I felt the sleeping thing of |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
From tail to claws, from neck to fangs |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
It was the black wolf they call nothing |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
And by its side I curled and lied |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
I died into sleeping soundlessly |
|
"Oh I die" |
|
When I woke there was nothing beside me of course |
|
And the world was lit and growing |
|
But I said "I know you're there. I feel your stare |
|
I feel your breathing blowing. |
|
See your mashing teeth and falling leaves |
|
Your beady eyes and apples glowing |
|
Oh dead of night hidden from sight |
|
I know you are no dream |
|
And I'm not dozing |
