What pleasant company to join,
My table coming ever more my own,
And dine on aromatics wiser,
To the wadeless moment.

When open eyes become as closed,
The day is drawing in,
When whispers seem too shrill for air,
The day is drawing in,
When light tucks over all the edges of the world,
And lamps stretch out in weary yawns,
The day is drawing in.

The sky is pink,
Then technicolour in a breathe,
Such beauty that stains the clouds in royal purple,
A few shades beyond belief above the melding yellow onto orange.

A thin band wraps around my wrist,
A uniform mountain by the side of winding indentations,
It lies there, an industrial raft in seas of fleeting hairs,
They flick under the elastic and lie down on the bumps of my wrist.

In a tenser moment,
It would hold, three fifths down from my crown,
A bundle of hair,
To keep all together in hurried happenings.
