Around The Lake

There's a vacuum

In the back room

Of a ballroom after dark

There's a triumph

In the buy out

Of a sell out in the park

It's only in the gaps we find

A solace in the quiet

That leads us to we know not where

It all goes on around the lake

Some insurance

After paying

Sometimes rush

Who knows? Not us

It's only in the weeds that bind

Some barbed wire in your diet

That leads us where we don't belong

If alt grows dark around the lake

Jt all goes on around the lake

Some disturbance

In the hedges

On the ledges

Very tall

Some commotion

Like a ripple

On the water

from a pebble thrown
