Imaginary Children

Up in the air,

Streamwise goodness,

Playing the tune.

 

Flutes and sirens,

In symphony rising,

The midnight flies rest about.

 

Second winter,

I need remember,

The feeling of flute.

 

Sinking in the water hole,

I translate the mothers feelings,

Liquidate the notion of believing.

 

Cull the night army,

Frayed windows and nights astray,

Flutes behind the curtain dreaming.

I changed
"Cull the night away"
To
"Cull the night army"

That's because the latter represents how I feel better.
