Sleet
Neil Pennycook
You asked of the sun
To kindly leave you alone
So that you could see the snow falling
And as sleet pours down on you
You will feel no need to move
You will stay until you have had your moneys worth
It's a beautiful night
So you thought that we should leave town
But we left behind all our winter clothes, oh no
And as frost grips to our arms
And the clouds obscure the stars
We will never say of our time, that it's wasting
You asked of the sun
To kindly fuck off
So that you see the snow falling
