How long have you been under there?
Silly thing.
Come out.
I'll try again, I'll try again, don't shake, please,
Please don't.
I know its bright
And sharp out here
Above the boards beneath the bed
But come out now, come out
I require it.
And soon.
I know you've not a taste for these
Things that start off one way and end somewhere else
But
I'll be here to take each bit apart with you,
I don't hide like you,
Nobody does really, oh please
Calm down.
You're brilliant, I promise you,
Just a spot uneasy,
You don't have to question it,
You don't.
I know you like the dark, you do,
Like curling up in quiet stuffy places,
It's easy to fall asleep and
Forget
But
Time's up.
You dragged them all down and back
With you, you know,
Yes, don't pretend now, you know that,
You crept away and slipped into a corner
Under the boards beneath the bed and took
All the wonders with you.
All the revelations.
The good old snatches.
You've managed to sleep the lost and misfit
And discordant away.
But you slept away the wonder.
Come out now,
You've been under there too long, that's how,
Come out now and spin us some new wonders to play with to-day.
