Twas a still night
suddenly from out of the corner of the eye came a noise
sparks
suddenly and not so suddenly
why and where nobody could say
how and when nobody could say
why when how and where nobody could say
as nobody was saying none how could it be said
pirates on beaches
the move sand in volumes
dry dusty work
they hone in on faces working abreast
how to even make them out
and water so much water salty out front of some trees "coconut nuts "
milky and nestled beneath a tree
there were times
cooking on the fire nobody around
except the natives
and they'd been gone a long time
dreaming
there were times
where meals were shared
fish were caught
upward starry skies
below much sand
ash
stomping natives you know
looking up and looking down
the stars spinning as they may
looking down the flame
so far up so far back
in the dream and coming back
seagull cries on late night flight
wind whips up spark into sky all the way high
at all times to fly
suddenly from out of the corner of the eye came a noise
sparks
suddenly and not so suddenly
why and where nobody could say
how and when nobody could say
why when how and where nobody could say
as nobody was saying none how could it be said
pirates on beaches
the move sand in volumes
dry dusty work
they hone in on faces working abreast
how to even make them out
and water so much water salty out front of some trees "coconut nuts "
milky and nestled beneath a tree
there were times
cooking on the fire nobody around
except the natives
and they'd been gone a long time
dreaming
there were times
where meals were shared
fish were caught
upward starry skies
below much sand
ash
stomping natives you know
looking up and looking down
the stars spinning as they may
looking down the flame

in the dream and coming back
seagull cries on late night flight
wind whips up spark into sky all the way high
at all times to fly
