August night so tight and frozen
Whispers are but silent cries
Curious people tucked away
Listening for the stir of day
As august night slowly dies
I alone within my walls
Feeling bound and cold I write
Taken from the day’s slow toil
Weary bones dragged home to boil
To stare out blue august night
Wasted breaths fall hard and hollow
Echoes of my love and need
Darting shadows circles eyes
Losing all newborn lies
Haunting my black august bleed
August night blares blaze and glory
Bubblegum breeze shifts left to right
Air horns crack the thick silence
Reflecting a static august night
One more verse from here to freedom
Calling all of comfort’s plight
Children call from beds of sheer
Steady grip of safety near
Calming blue hearts this august night
