you as if
your legs fell off body
or maybe a pause
like a attack
but you don't know it is.

gather up
and as you speed up your
and your trembling start to resonate.
the fall comes at the last
and it easier.

a crawling work of

a voice sounding
accross sky
so blue it looks like been dyed?

shadow melts away
that dies away

keep up rhythm
keep up your
with
with
hey you, legs,
hey you, my legs
go on a stroll
as the silent goes by
the silently
itself.
goodbye.
