42 I need to rest within your moving eyes. I need to break the stronghold of my ribs. I cannot sleep, because I need to fly To reach your eyes, and in your eyes to sleep. I cannot in my dark behind the ribs Breathe, cannot move within my flesh. I need To tear the noose of tendons and to flee To reach your eyes, and in your eyes to breathe.
