Undercover

Physical 🤝Metaphysical

Red light green light 
I feel like
A hot knife 
Slicing through butter 
Like a compromised
Shudder 

Kiss your hand and 
Touch the roof
A yellow light 
Still sunlit, 
Rude 

Add up 
The bad luck

Unpack 
The sad sacks  

Put back
The roadmap

We’re lost now 
So I’ll confront,
Back
 
And I still can’t be clear
Where the light was that year

But I feel stuck in the yellow
In between 
Faith and fear 

I can search in the roads 
For that stretch of my soul 

But it’s backlit, turned golden 
Bronzed by time 
And not knowing 

I have to wonder 
If the vision’s 
Only mine 
Or public wisdom 

And I uncover 
Under covers 
As the night grows 
Ever darker 

That I never 
Will discover 

What is real
And what’s 

My cover
