When Darkness Peaks
I stop
When a light flashes go
I leave
When I should know

I scoop you up
To quench my thirst
And I watch you
Deflate and burst

These hands —
They always
disband
They always seem
to ruin plans
So your shelter
Packs up and —
you move away
from me

For I ruin all
That is free
I tie birds by their knees
I clip their wings
and mow down their trees
My green claws
Holds them tightly,
And I squeeze

I squeeze until life is ceased
