Darwin's Knock

as a lighthouse
is to tell ships
it's alright

sail towards me
reach safety
in my arms

but light travels faster
than the speed
of sound so

by now you've found
you've run aground
without wax

in your ears
as fear harbors
you blind and soon 

deaf knowing now
how the sirens
have evolved
