Cat and Mouse

We follow tails
We follow dreams and fragments of broken glass
That glass is 'dream' no more
Just a sea of broken, smashed, empty silence
Where people made promises and things changed
Broken, smashed, changed, mutated.
Someone is dying
We follow the tails and the coils of the death of a life
The death of yet another dream
But no.
This dream died before the silent unbreathing body hit the ground
This dream was just a nonsense in a crazy's head
But the cats cannot distil the crazy.
Though they chase the lines of the crazy mouse in the head of the crazy mouse
The mouse keeps secrets.
And the keys are not theirs.
But the mouse will not escape the claws of the cat as it dives in
for the kill...

[Adena]

There is a voice in my head
that says the words
walk baby walk
walk away from the pain

and I listen
I've listened every time
to the soft voice beckoning me
to that space in my mind

when I hear it say
walk baby walk
walk away from the pain

I don't ask
I just walk
because when I walk, I'm safe

now I hear the voice calling me
walk baby walk
it's safe to walk away

can I trust it?
I don't know
but I don't want to stay...
