Where are you going?. Come back here I'm helpless without you. I wave my tiny limbs in useless gestures. I need you I am dependent. And when you leave me terror darkens.
Oh my darling, let's join hands. Go swooping through the air. And at night we'll safely land. And fold our wings with care. We'll have the sun and moon as friends.
My heart is heavy as I help you. Into the costume in which you learn to fly. Always chained to somewhere. In case I might hurt myself. Sitting in the sawdust.
There's no moon today. Because of the yellow light. That hovers live a faint fur. Over the rooftops. Blocking the sky from sight. If you're never left in the darkness.
