We live on a mountain
right at the top.
There's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain.
Every morning i walk towards the edge
and throw little things off like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever i find lying around.

It's become a habit.
A way
to start the day.

I go through this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you.

It's real early morning.
No-one is awake.
I'm back at my cliff,
still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
on their way down.
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash,
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks.

And when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?

I'll go through all this
before you wake up
so i can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
