you just want to take
you want to take this dark
this dark place
this dark space
this fucked up world
this tinder-dry world
and roll it into a ball
to set it on fire
so that there might be
a little light
a little light
to tear up the night
forcing a sunrise
that might wake us up
in brilliant surprise

and we will walk forth
as though new
as though freshly created
having forgotten everything
to step forth
in oh so happy bright
fixated on the sight
of a people without hate…
