Something for the Dread I

Bleak leaves swelled in symphony when I was a child

It seemed life wouldn't change a bit

But now I'm reaching for the pen;

Dear Sweetness

I think that I've found something for the dread

Ever wonder why it feels so strange?

I do too

We watched the news and your skin flicks on MD

I was rapt, and traced all the ways you moved

Vaporous and blue

Ever wonder why it feels so strange?

I found myself

Pacing the fault-line on Old Bethel Street, yesterday evening

And there, I think, I found something for the dread;

Ever wonder why it feels so strange?

I saw you in a lover's arms

I saw you taken through your window

I felt everything fall into place
