Forest Eyes - fossil youth

Screaming inside my car as if you could hear me

And my stuttered breathing comes and goes this time of year

Like most things I know

Forest eyes you’re always haunting my mind

Like the blades of grass in my backyard

I’ll surely cut you in two

We searched the darkest streets for conversation a remedy

Red brushed across my face

You are the east wind

You blew me away

We sat on the pavement and whispered the night away

Crushing leaves in our hands silently

Like the big oak tree in your backyard

I can’t do a thing
