Muscle memoryfeeling with my handshearing with my earsI forgot my eyesat the bottom of the lake
Dark, my old friendThank you for returning tobring me peace
Hearing the nothingnessno colour to seenothing to blindfree to feel
Free to cryfree to die
Muscle memoryI can walk withoutseeingI can sing withoutmanuscript
No clef neededno time signature
No longer coldno longer warmI am perfectin the dark.
