BbI stayed inside all morning 
Gwatching waves of rain pass over 
Fcold and dry by the window 
I didn't turn a light on. 
The fiBbreplace dead since last night 
Gemptiness inside, cold morning 
Flow grey sky immense living belly 
of a silver fur thing. 
In wBbaves of weather the house lies 
Gpiled up wood with me inside 
FI'm piled up dust, alive, dreaming 
or walking whirlpool of water 
Bbawake and indifferent 
looking at cGars go by and then get forgotten 
onFly a sound of a waterfall breathing out 
in one long exhale 
Bbrings in my ears for a moment 
Gthen another wave of rain blows over 
Fgreying out the light 
the lawn through window seems undiscovered. 
A seBbparate way of seeing. 
A seGparate way of breathing it in. 
A lFost world separate from the usual 
barely meaningful waking and dreaming. 
BbLost in an unfolding 
Gthinking about what to do with a day 
Fsitting while the light dies 
until finally it's over. 
In Bbblue dusk I finally step outside 
Gbreathing in the cloud that has settled 
Fnoticing a black looming house shape 
and at last my eyes crack open.

Bb E B Bb

I stayed inside all morning

watching waves of rain pass over

cold and dry by the window

I didn't turn a light on.

The fireplace dead since last night

emptiness inside, cold morning

low grey sky immense living belly

of a silver fur thing.

In waves of weather the house lies

piled up wood with me inside

I'm piled up dust, alive, dreaming

or walking whirlpool of water

awake and indifferent

looking at cars go by and then get forgotten

only a sound of a waterfall breathing out

in one long exhale

rings in my ears for a moment

then another wave of rain blows over

greying out the light

the lawn through window seems undiscovered.

A separate way of seeing.

A separate way of breathing it in.

A lost world separate from the usual

barely meaningful waking and dreaming.

Lost in an unfolding

thinking about what to do with a day

sitting while the light dies

until finally it's over.

In blue dusk I finally step outside

breathing in the cloud that has settled

noticing a black looming house shape

and at last my eyes crack open.
