The Mice

As gold encircles the last blades of grass Busses patrol for the maiden class The world awakes the cigars burn out Peace falls second to chaos downtown The cats then chase their tails till dusk Certain of promises will be kept in trust Dreaming the dreams of reality kings Of absolute truths and biblical things But those who call the darkness their day Prefer the eye of the hurricane Like a fresh fallen snow that reposes the fields That silences the highway beyond the hills A piece of the moon most never will know To call the stillness of night their own
