Hideaway

One mouth, two feet

One life, a dream

A thought, a word

A whisper unheard

Two knocks, three heads

One light, silent treads

A measure, a call

A hole in the wall

One voice, two hands

One plea, a demand

Four curses, a sigh

A retreat, no sign

One heart, one song

Ten fingers, two palms

A long day, a night

A return to the light
