Fish in Silver Hallways

I am a fish in silver hallways

Terrifying to you, or terrifying to me?

There are so few questions left

I have sat with you around giant tables

I have eaten with you in the sand

I have played with your only children to keep them from burning

You close your eyes when you see me coming

Dig the holes I want to fall into

Break the old love knots I inherit

And I? I dance around your prairie fence

I turn my back to kiss your brothers

Toss my head to kiss the falling sky

Mend the arcing hoops as you throw them

There are so few meals left

And the children cannot know

There are so few rhymes left

And the fires must not reach them

I close my eyes when I see myself coming

Dig the holes I must fall into

Break the toys before I inherit, inherit, inherit

Look, the nametags are slipping off the handles

This is a place we have never been

The screen points fingers before we can hunt our playmates

We talk in opposite categories, saving it up for another year

We go dark in opposite nightcores

This is a place we have never been

Terrifying to you, or terrifying to me?

There are so few questions left
