Begin - Rachel Sermanni

Trust you know what I am

Do you trust me?

Give you all that I can

If you let me

The world is stretching

Like animal skin

Want to keep you warm

But we are so thin

Working working

We try to begin

Again and again and again and again

I think we’re thinking the same

What are you thinking?

Nailed to the chain

No daisy making

The world is shrinking

Like wool or walking

Swim with you in the lake

But we’ll be sinking

Diving diving

How do we begin

Again and again and again and again

I’m not much more than a child

And you are also

Flames so tender and mild

Burning great big holes

The world’s an oyster

The world is a cage

Want to keep you all to myself

But you’re all to the rage

Yellow yellow

It has begun

Again and again and again and again
