If I should return like I once did 
Animals will mark me with brown infant eyes
The same eyes whose lids I kissed the high grass in which they sit 
Is shoulder length and hanging on your forehead 

A week is four years in ancient hive minds
And soon those eyes begin to well up
Your shallow grave concealed by fragrant leaf piles
Black glistening bird eyes averted

When the police bring me in (x6)
We'll tell them "this is why we need secrets"
