Decoy

Initiation

devoid

timing and turning

decoy

Stonewalling, artificial haven

stonewalling

calling on the raven

Don't remember how

to do

something all on ones' own

when it's hard

when it hurts

when one's weak

when there's dirt

under the rug

or so feared

that it leers

Guiding light is

devoid

it's only a decoy

to a winding circle trap

going round and round in loops

So where is the loophole

because one can't be seen

there seems no other option

and another day is done and mean

Looking up at a star

that is very hard to reach

steps of fire, 1000 degrees

up with aching knees

Can it be really done

what about lifting a ton

when your child is pinned underneath

what about walking over hot coals

So grit your teeth

no, no, no

that has been done

and they are all broken now

so why not take a bow

and out

and find a different way

but where and how

can it be found

amongst the silent sound

Of the shadows

over fallow

of the devoid

of the decoy
