MOVING DAY (FINAL VERSION)

 

dismantling the sunrise

they'll move through

no one knows

who they're reporting to

but jobs are plenteous now.

unhooking the stars

while you were out

in the afternoon without a shout,

tonight there's gloom

but little news

oh, all right.

tall was the grass an age before

now there isn't anymore.

be still.

we're moving soon.

anytime before noon.

at noon they'll all come back for the sun.

it has, they'll say, been such a nice run.

live like a mole.

soon they'll delete your soul

anyway, that's the plan;

how funny they think they can!
