Tim, again, thank you so much for helping me write this series.
Their request our command
Their impulse our burden
Little One, remember:
You are not there
You drift in time
Stars are your friends
This house extravagant
In boundless forest
Squirrels, birds, butterflies
Night will turn into day
Their bread crumbles
Their wine dries
Little One, remember:
My arms are warm
In your nights
This cage has iron bars
It has walls that smother
It holds us like beasts
The day we flee will come
Embrace that day
Forget the men
Little One, remember:
We will fly so high
They'll turn to fleas
This house has no windows
It has no doors
It has no roof, come
