Transport me and quarantine
This feeling that is seldom scene
I'm curious and fevers peaked
Delirious with this mystiqueSoaked in a blanket's warm ember glow
Freer now than I've ever know
I dance the fire with a crazy glaze
And juxtapose to coin this hazeWolf trap and fireflies, what does it mean?
Oh, the image sticks like glue to me
Is this to make some sense
Some eveningQuiet with a candle, cheat to bring them near
Oh, silent, I the hunter, till the answers clear
I tried hard to peg this feel
The catch proved much too big to reelYou blink, you miss and bliss is dead
Playing spotlight with my head
Pop up unannounced, take aim snap the traps
(And start again)Quill dip and adjustaprose
Snap-shot record what image glows
I know their eyes follow me
Track my prints, encircle meTaste, touch, smell, sight, sound
Eyes look up, ears to the ground
Soaked in a blanket's warm ebb and flow
Freer now? I just don't knowSlate gray sky meets musty green
Can you smell the mossy world machine?
Cunning and captured
Free and endangered
