I'll lay me down tonight,
much farther down.
swim in the calm tonight.
this art does drown.
what follows me as the whitest lace of light
just begs to be imbrued?
what follows will swallow whole.
what follows has lead me to this place where i belong, with all erased.
all insects sing tonight.
the coldest sound.
i'd send god's grace tonight could it be found. i'll lay me down tonight much farther down. watch stars go out tonight.
on sinking ground
i'll lay me down.
