Fall Together
This is a sandcastle fairytale
A prayer that I’ll be there for you
A marriage to your skies of blue
Or red or green or gray
And do you say you will arrange
Or will you lie here still estranged
And plain old light smeared on your face
I taste the tired in my eyes—
You waste my time—
And my rhymes are empty
To your right of envy
Don’t you dare pretend for me
Under oath of empty empathy
And dearest, I’ll come home alone
To a world you’ll never know.
So draw the window to your right
Will you bark or will you bite?
And I’ve found God in a corner
Writing songs about the foreigner
Chewing on lightning rods again
Where order is just a game
—a game—
Of boredom, stardom, postmortem
In the battlefield of post-war-done
And my fingertips are dripping
Back breaking, scales tipping
But you’ll never see my colors
In the dark, the beating heart
The broken parts, that’s where it starts
To fall apart or fall together. I don’t know which.
