Out of a small hole in the ground
Shove my body through
Head first - oxygen

Strong arms, legs and shoes

Dark skies like silvered slate

Giant purple mountain crags
Raindrops as big as my fist
Falling on my face


Molders to the ground
Clenched in water

Skin is waiting
Transparent now
Translucent runner


Run, Annie, run


Pressed, pump my fists
Tense, trust my legs
Feet pounding out the sounds

Of a thousand angry words and tearing down

Deep, dark and beautiful

Urgent, lovely greens
I can only feel this place
I can only hear my feet


Molders to the ground
Clenched in water

Skin is waiting
Transparent now
Translucent runner


Run, Annie, run


Five fingers and large, large hands
At the end of my bed
Do I jump into the middle of it?

Think about turning back

Dive inside

Dive inside
I will run, Annie, run
Run, Annie, run

Run, I- I run
