I turned my back on the mythical
But the wolves did come that summer and spun me in tight circles
And now my mother calls me in at turn of night
She said I'd opened my mind to beasts and smoke and strange lights
I'd opened it too wide
So I went to the mountains when I was able
And horror did rise up with them
That good kind of terror that raises you
And there I acquired that unsettling turn of phrase
Which comes to those who are unmoored and fear the static places
For nothing ever happens here anymore
That's all
But I can see you speak so sweet and hollow
Round these parts they sing of a boy
Who hiked the hills and lived alone
I think I will go with him to some place I can trail off
I will better myself by leaving
I am quiet and ready and calm
For nothing ever happens here anymore
I can run
I can
Dark man who leads me
Leads me to scarred places
I will jump for you
I still call for you
Swallow on my shoulder
Whistling me soft words
I'm sorry I touched you
I could never learn you
Boy who has held me
When I am sleeping
I never would wake if you
Kept holding my shoulder in that way you do
Way you do
Way you do
Way you do
Way you do
