wake me when we regain some semblance of our humanity until then
autumn at dusk in the comfort of candles the words flow
wake to find the scars missing will you relearn to relive the life you imagined
under the fence over the hills and still the scars follow
emancipation works both ways: in freeing myself i free you from the shackles of society
if you should gaze deep enough you’ll find the contours of night
the autumn dark deepens and the night grows manifold
frail minds rejoin the essence of night’s choir
after dark your fingers crawlimg under my skin
