Something was missing in my picture of life
It was a silhouette of a man cut out by a knife.
Now after I’ve met you, the place is complete
With your beautiful face, and a smile so sweet.

inside my head
all’s clear and connected
but when I start making sound
holes form in the expression
yet on paper it is plain
and easier for my brain
to formulate the thoughts
crowding its lot

and I dry out,
drip, drip, drip,

and the hour is late
I think I’ll curl up in a hole
and hibernate

unexplainable holes:

Doughnuts
Caves
Why is this?
Will we ever know the answer…
