The dogs, the boys, the sheep
are standing where the grass is ankle-deep
and waiting for the darkness
waiting for the darkness

The shepherds and their girls
are hiding in the dumps and boarded malls
waiting for the darkness
waiting for the darkness

What light there is that bounces off walls
will do for the moonlight on trees
on hands and knees the peasants will start to crawl

The hands and louts who live on the dole
will take it in take it in turns
with chants and wild screams
to churn the pale milk of our dreams

The hogs, the hands, the grouse
are rooting where the trash defines a house
and waiting for the darkness
waiting for the darkness

The foxes with brief stares
are beckoning from dens of tools and spares
waiting for the darkness
waiting for the darkness

The drowsing heat that bounces off cars
will do for the glinting of stars
as on their rear paws animals shake and stand

The beasts of prey that live with no names
will go and grow go and grow hands
to come and dig deep
beneath the surface of our sleep
