Sometimes pearshaped 
women meltdown 
Onto concrete 
Splashing sun and 
sidewalk insects 
Down by these feet 
Sometimes puddles 
terrify me 
As they gaze up 
Scrap of paper 
floating crumpled 
I can't pick up 
Goodbye 

No one's ever gonna 
find out from this 
shut mouth 
Just be sure to keep 
these eyes closed 
they can read those 

Sometimes people use 
their sound holes 
Pointed at me 
Rusty winds groaning 
down alleys 
Blow right pas me 
Sometimes pipes 
creaking inside here 
Know me too well 
Flesh and steel I had 
carved up 
For a farewell 
Too late 

I'll never wish for it 
but now it grows inside 
just like a moth
