What would you give to be here?
Where?
Here.
Back on the earth.
Touching stone.
The sun will burn through in a matter of hours
And, I have brought a drum to play.
Underneath the barrow,
celestials are a'gathering sounds.
The night is a magical friend;
Outside we pick stars
And wonder if there's anyone out there.
