I’m casting signs for you.

Believe me, I tried all the tricks in the booking

and nothing else is due.

I’m acting out for you

I’ve picked up the tic of the extra in passing

and now the past is staged too.

I’m watching out for you.

Out of the corner of my eye the mirror was glancing, are those reflections coming through?

Everyday my symbols tremble

My burnt intentions I’ve tossed to the air

But in every way my meanings crumble

I’m stuck at the border, nothing to declare.

I lay in wait for you.

Hunched down in the seat, I fell into trancing and now I missed the queue

I’m losing track of you

I can’t hear the words I thought you were asking. In ringing ears a circle grew

Everyday my symbols tremble

The words they twist like the braids in your hair

But in every way my meanings crumble

Was there ever a chance that you would care?

I’ve read all about ships in passing

But all along I’ve been signaling to the air.
