Cables

In a baobab tree

Root exposed

Capsized

Weak as a beetle

You wake me up every spring and I unfurl

See that grin

Tell me I’m feeble

Tell me I’m alone

And I feel the cables that tether me

Grow weak and unstable

The earth will not keep me

I will wait in these chains

Like a bomb

Shackles thirty and rusting

Crumbling and strained

And I feel the cables that tether me

Grow weak and unstable

The earth will not keep me

一个声音 隐隐呼唤

And I feel the cables that tether me

Grow weak and unstable

The earth will not keep me
