Parallax error beheads you
Framing of a history lost
Caravans of infants

Fortified against the frost
Systems under boulders
Compacting penumbra now

Salons unprotected
Disappear beneath a brow
Absence round the edges

Crackles in an orange sky
Shutters on the safety
Standing by for your reply

Appalachian figure
Gazing down upon you, proud
Future life projecting

Something that you never vowed
And if I loved you
Doesn't mean I'll see you in the crowd
