Our wires have been tweaked and twisted
To put lust over love
In dingy homes, foggy skies
Do we play with lust
Alone or with another
Lust is so often practiced
But love universally suppressed
Lust is readily available
A star in the countryside
But love is rare
Polaris shivering alone amid city lights
Lust is a faction of our mind
Readily available, carnations at a florist,
We are window watching
After some time in the bed
Wasted by dangerous obsessions
Through the window we see
Our families, friends, and acquaintances
The unknown belongs in cities
We were brave and cowardly, blissful and morose, fearless and fearful
We were like city dwellers, as all our brothers and sisters
Except we appear beautiful
But inside is nothing but hatred
Outside the village we see horses
White as mother’s milk, the milk of kindness
Through verdant valleys and snow capped peaks they travel
At dusk they arrive here
As they travel through our homes, shops, gardens
Those who are bound through lust, two board a horse
And so do we
Travelling west from Aurea
The day bows to night’s realm
We begin to experience something
Never felt in our hearts
Like the first snowfall
Lovers rule the night
Not bound by society
Free, wild
Light fights night
But on the plains it is dark, it is peaceful
As the night grows old the sun rises
And the horses leave us in a village quite like ours
Several more times we take the horses
But the horses leave one last time
And with them she leaves
