Alongside the tracks
What would he be wearing?
Last piece of the great puzzle

I found it on the road
His hands were red
We painted them white

Road signs are in English
I regained my balance
Made the kill

New things can emerge and grow
Make my own conversions
The firefly accepts its life

Turned toward the window
The true ordinary mind
Any new invention

Was not worth it, she said
If i passed i'd advance
Our hands were red

We painted them white
How did this happen?
Where did they go?

We passed the fruits around
The next gust of wind
It's that simple

Aesthetics of the art
Just a glint in the dark
During the famine

After reading the comics
The true ordinary mind
Put them into an envelope

The bed was empty
Tiny footprints in the ash
Where did they go?

Our relationship to fire
What happened to your bow?
It is that simple

Every night in the barracks
He worried about his father
She remembered to write

Ancient stars in our eyes
The fire pits of Neandrathals
The firefly accepts its life

She tossed the rope down
Come on over
The way she was dancing
