Soft as Silk, Cool as Clay- We’re thrown into a promise kiln Made to break your heart of glass Like flowers, we all wilt on a winter days Our brittle stems get cut too soon to bloom Ash to Ash, all too soon I heard a sad song in a grocery played over High School Shooting Mourning Shoppers The Still Life of bruising fruit cloaked us in its sweet perfume We were cracking ourselves up Now my voice cracks when they mention you I packed a lens, thought it would heal you If you could see for yourself inside a different light Focus on the real you Push-pinned to walls and taped to mirrors Meant to be revered: the image of you [CUT TO] Refracted light covering pews The messes of flown-in friends in borrowed suits (To leave a glass half-full and a small town gutted) I’m seeing red through all the blues White roses bow their stems unto The image of you, living proof I never said I love you, I guess I thought you knew Ripples make the waves make the shorelines cave– we all do I can’t say I’ve carried the weight in the invisible ways some do The taller the mountain, the sweeter the view Now I’m walking the bridge in your shoes My demons loom and they’re telling me to do it Seduced by stunts that seem profound But don’t end the pain, they just push it around My fingers laced a crown/the crowd Wet-faced for birthdays spent uncrowned Our quiet march to view the image of you So, can I get a little noise made in here for my brothers?
