ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 4
COMET AND SAINTS
now don't for-
get ahead of yourself
the wind that moves the comet's hair
doesn't exist
it couldn't be that eagerness
is all one needs
as the general situation gets worse
a body I thought
was mine to lose
feet that haven't left the ground
since I don't know when
then there's rain not like a comet
it doesn't just hang there it falls
and the saints stand out in it
it drips down the back of their necks
and runs along their sleeves
they are getting colder from standing there
just close enough to hear
us calling come in and dry out
but too far away to be seen clearly
