the beauty, tender glow extinguished

the sky dull from a breeze

ghostly the dawn without its red

uncanny, estranged to our nature

the light like lead

ripped in the dark

a tiny sichle

as small as cut by a surgical knife

the suns last spark melts away

not unlike a dying wick

now stands disc on disc

and crushes my heart

all i really, really, really want to see

is a total eclipse of the sun

'ah' says everyone

just the birds are silent

with surprise

all i really, really, really want to see

is a total eclipse of the sun
