When the night falls she escapes
She locks the cage carefully
and leaves
………………….She wonders what she has forgotten
………………….She locks away and leaves
………………….Maybe the light is on
………………….Maybe the door is open
………………….Maybe the day after today
………………….Maybe the hidden sheep with its grass
………………….but she locks away and leaves
………………….every night she locks away
………………….and leaves
Repetition, infallible mother of mistakes
