Bridgework - St Vitus Dance

We sleep together you and I

we bring these awful things to rest.

Discuss the day and I lose my balance again.

You talk of us, remembering when I was listening.

These decisions, I’ve reached out on my own.

Bodies in motion and I…

I can sleep with a city to burn.

Lying still in this heat.

The day echoes in my head and…

I, I can’t sleep.

When late nights are driving us out and beyond,

Take comfort my love.

We’ll start again new in the morning.

We stand together you and I.

Lashing out from the cover of near dark.

Evening gives way to the shimmer and hum of a screen.

Bodies in motion and I…

I can sleep with a city to burn.

Lying still in this heat.

The day echoes in my head and…

I, I can’t sleep.
