This poem is from Maya's perspective, probably set shortly after "Zombie".


You saw me this morning

.

Stars still shining bright

Lying against you, warm and unchanged

.

I'm still searching for you

My owl in the forest

I never thought you'd fly away

.

And I realize now the feathers falling

The way you hopped from branch to branch

I should have known you were leaving

Though you'd been here forever

.

You flew away and left me here

Don't you know I don't want to be

If I'm alone, if you're not here

.

It's snowing and the forest has frozen

Permafrost is sinking into me

.

It binds me a lifetime away from you
