Thought, thought I could grip
Grip the dust
By the speed of my hand
Bone crash into skin
Swinging hard
Swinging hard as you can
Between the houses
We cannot be seen
We made, made new words
For the pins
That we felt in our legs
Stood, stood in our rooms
Wide awake
Just to watch the day change
Cold on the beds where
Our brothers had been
You know we did (no harm)
When they ran and hid (no harm)
Hunting the kids (no harm)
You know they did no harm
In June, June's thick breath
Will collect
And then drip down our chins
Cut holes in the screen
Make them wide
And let the creatures come in
Between the houses
We cannot be seen
You know we did (no harm)
When they ran and hid (no harm)
Hunting the kids (no harm)
You know they did no harm
Forming slowly
All things holy
No breath showing
All out running
Our skin humming
Into the sun
Always running to
Never running from
Always running to
Never running from
Cold on the beds where
Our brothers had been
You know we did (no harm)
When they ran and hid (no harm)
Hunting the kids (no harm)
You know they did no harm
