Squirrel In the Yard

brain cells eat up the sky they taste like the dreams of mad children look out the cognitive window and see the lions in the den blood clots at the mouth of the creek it stops the flow and it feels so hard look out the cognitive window and see the squirrel in the yard the tree is much closer than it was yesterday a tree cannot move, it can only beg and stay this is a signal, climb into your brain are you ready to lose, are you ready to cry in pain sleep, sleep tonight he's scrawling on the roof dream, dream tonight he's crawling on you do you see the white picket fence there's blue and green in its eyes it's so cold in the furry red jacket or is it him, lying dead on the ground the tree is much closer than it was yesterday a tree cannot move, it can only beg and stay this is a signal, climb into your brain are you ready to lose, are you ready to cry in pain sleep, sleep tonight he's scrawling on the roof dream, dream tonight he's crawling on you
