Milky mist poured from the heaven
Is gently soothing the town
The town of my birth
Like a woman touching velour
Mother holds my hand
Much tighter than usual
We have to run
To escape from this day dreaming reality
We saw it
When THEY got out of the huge white car
Pointed a trumpet shaped gun to a man
And pulled the trigger
To catch him
And to make his bones and his flesh
Crashed and cramped
To a size of a loaf of bread
And they saw us!
Yes for sure THEY saw us watching THEM
Now THEY are coming to catch us
Mother whispers at me:
Now, let us go
Let us run
Come, quick, save our lives
The mist is getting thicker and thicker
We have to tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe,
To get out of this day-dreaming reality.
