Stray Light at Clouds Hill
What can I tell you?
I wasn’t anyone’s son
I jump over mountains
I vault over islands
I roar through the houses
I skim on the oceans alone
And see only outlines
I was the last king
I was a blaze in the sun
I climb to the cloud base
I ride on the crosswinds
I sleep in the open
I slide through the fences
I hide in the hallways
My armor is frozen
My pulse is arrested
My eyes are a glittering stone
I move in starlight
Oh, mama
The light is so bright
The dark is so dark
