camouflage for fire: 3. ballad of janus

walk me down
your memories
cos I’m tired of my own
show me round
your failings
where they feel most at home

flame out, flame in
go dark then begin
breathe out, breathe in
a spark in the dim

then sometimes
finally
good things don’t go
on hiding
secretly
turning to gold

burn out, burn in
go dark then begin
blow out, blow in
a spark in the dim

a prayer was downed
randomly
I heard the sky groan
what was found
patiently
waiting out bones

give out, give in
go dark then begin
live out, live in
a spark in the dim
