Wolftrap And Fireflies

Carbon Leaf


Transport me and quarantine 
This feeling that is seldom scene 
I'm curious and fevers peaked 
Delirious with this mystique 
Soaked in a blanket's warm 
Ember glow 
Freer now than I've ever know 
I dance the fire with a crazy glaze 
And juxtapose to coin this haze 
Wolftrap and Fireflies 
What does it mean? 
Oh, the image sticks like glue to me 
Is this to make some sense 
Some evening 
Quiet with a candle. Cheat to bring them near 
Oh, silent, I the hunter, til the answers clear 
I tried hard to peg this feel 
The catch proved much too big to reel 
You blink, you miss and bliss is dead 
Playing spotlight with my head 
Pop up unannounced, take aim 
Snap the traps (and start again) 
Quill-dip and adjustaprose 
Snap-shot record what image glows 
I know their eyes follow me 
Track my prints, encircle me 
Taste. Touch. Smell. Sight. Sound 
Eyes look up, ears to the ground 
Soaked in a blanket's warm ebb and flow 
Freer now? I just don't know 
Slate-gray sky meets musty green 
Can you smell the mossy world machine? 
Cunning and captured...free and endangered
