Up In The Nets

Will Stelter

Salty air smokey lungs
Footprints in the sand
Leading to the woods
Can you breathe it in?

And still shadows lurk
Tempting my mind
The trees drop fire
Burn down before my eyes

Oh no, where did you go?

On the reef you cut your palms
Ran out in the wake
The tempest in your mind
Drug you out to sea

Caught up in the nets
They pulled you overboard
The fire in your breath
Freed you from your binds

Oh no, where did you go?
