BEHOLD A NEW TRAVELER

cold morning
behold a new traveler
just a visitor
longing for no one in particular

hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive

watch the clouds from gallows bay
riches upon riches
watch the ropes in the dirt
like stillborn snakes in the river

hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive

don’t guard your temple
let the door swing wide open
your house is so closed-off
it is freezing

hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive

let the eyes of a blind man
shine like jewels in your sockets
throw me the case of the zodiac
and I’ll unlock it

hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive

because the pages are frail
because the story is never-ending
because the book is always returning
behold a new traveler

hold water for water and fire for fire
thrust your arms in the beehive
