Late work, early dark

(Breathe to settle a mind)

I hear the blues a callin’

(Breathe to settle a mind)

But no matter if I’m confused

(Breathe to settle a mind)

I always know what to do-

(Breathe to settle a mind)

-with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs!

Tumultuous seas settle

Peaceful day under clear skies

Straight on till mornin’.

My voice cries out!

Betrayed from within

And breath.

Midnight silence;

Pause while breath stops.

All breath hung—
That piece of paper lived,
With the wind between the cars.
