Safe House
He arrived on dusty shores
Way too early, it would seem
Skinny and gaunt, left to die
Not recognizable as a human being
The first time she opened her mouth
Something shrill began to sing
No one wanted to listen to her vibrations
So the hole was stuffed with many things
They lived together as one
No family connection to bind them together
Back and forth, out and in, they'd come again
Life birds of a feather
...safe in the ARK
