TIME IS GOING BY            88





I am beside you
But I am not with you now
Kept awake by cold burning
To get things done
Before it is too late again
While you slept, the Harlequin stepped out
I will tell you in the morning
That I stayed awake for 3 days
Attempting to attract your attention

And you will look at me
Knowing I am not mad
As I declare my intention
To make the world sane
Until we make nervous sounds
As if our next breath will be the last
For time is going by
And the only way to slow it down
Is to call on unloved sensations

I am talking in your sleep
Time is going by and
My love is a curse to me
No death could remove us
Embryo spirits

So gone in the idea
I cannot see the way back
Crazy eyed with holy dreams
Scared into knowing
Time is always going by
Invisible by day
Luminous at night
We must work faster and faster.
