I think I live upon a bridge

I’m too afraid to cross.

I’ve set up camp for the time being

(Now so much time’s been lost.)

The water’s too far down to drink

And the fish are out of reach.

Is Mercury in Retrograde

Or is it true

How you and me

Are never true

I feel one of us is always holding back

And the other, is punching back. 

I never know anymore

I never know what is true

Was it light in the morning,

when the fog was thick on the water,

and the world was cracking its eyelids at the dawn?

Did the thin layers of ice persuade you?
