slightly underwater

the drums oh the drums

the heat

everywhere around you

surrounding you admiring you

i am a dreamer a drifter

here today gone tomorrow

i work in a sideshow

i am a clown in a tragedy

i sell sea shells by the sea shore

this hot night of all nights

catches me out i am oppressed and burnt

the darkness offers no cool

my feet heat up

my heart drowses in its stolid chambers

my brain sluggish in its stew of memories

my dream of sanctuary…..
