Strange Land

I'll open my eyes and I will be alone
grayed out in the middle of nowhere
the road lights will be waiting, like plashes my eyes,
and like pebble in the water all candle-ends shed from the skies
in muddy clay lie overthrown
in the night

in the night
as dumb as a velour screen,
supreme as a cast-iron fence,
I come upon my own skin,
keep crossing my own glance.

fare well, forgive us strange land
we have exhausted the strand
we have turned lighter than air
we have turned cleaner than rain
we may come here again
but who is going to say then
a farewell to the strange land,
fare well.

we might have landed from the heavens before
maybe got born more than once
oh most bitter memory, most sad
of what is facing ahead
but tires cheer the night
with their comforting babble
I hear a yell outside
it could have been a green light

fare well, forgive us strange land
we have exhausted the strand
we have turned lighter than air
we have turned cleaner than rain
we may come here again
but who is going to say then
a farewell to the strange land,
fare well.
