lyrics

blood blue hands in winter in twilight in winter and ice
cracks
under our feet as we run to the house in the winter
light
trees that look bigger that weren’t there and sirens
screaming
scheming
we didn’t know
how fast he would go
red blue hands in winter in nighttime in December ice
slides
under our feet as we run to the house in the winter
night
all of his head in our hands like an eggshell
screaming
screaming
we didn’t know
how fast he would go

(Meghan Deans, 2008)
