The rush of air from which it pours To feel the presence which invades What once was welcome Overstayed (always stay)
Why did she go downstairs?

To haunt the stark and empty plane Forever blocked communique
To muster just enough to knock Upon the walls and rattle locks
As fear recedes and longing gains
The lonesome dinners that she takes The basement table set for two
To be joined what must one do? (always stay)
