Southern Star, Northern Lights

Walking on the circle periphery
Where time is just a pebble in the sky
Streets placed firmly
Round this circle’s equinox
Women come
Stars shine
The brightest, Southern Star
Northern lights

Sleeping in the middle of that circle
Anthem is a beauty, it’s a breath
Shadows clenched tight
To this circle’s ground
People pass
The talk gets done
The nearest, Southern Star
Northern lights

Holding to the outskirts of that circle
Waiting for the ambulance to come
I know this life would come to this
I know a young man’s folly
Leads to nothing nice
Nothing’s in order now
Southern Star
Northern lights

Digging up our treasures in this circle
Hoping our lines will meet one day
I know this life would come to this, eventually
Wreck you up, dispatch all that
Sear it like the young ones seared the sky
The doors are all closed
The solid ones
Southern Star
Northern lights
