lean on the concrete walls in shadow

why should we wait to throw the switch

felt your name burning like a tattoo into my skin

rain on the clay tiles all night, your head nestled beneath my chin

wolves in the hallway gaining ground

reach down to the moment when I should have said something true

shadows and their sources now stealing away with you
