LYRICAL CHANGE

Sorry you had a go & shattered windows
for how words teased suds out yr heart
in phrase the favored corkscrew Sorry
the sweet lemons went sour after all
that work & turned yellow again
These things tender ladders & illusions reasons
we never talk anymore & were never quite friends
just reckless ends of duct taped fairy wings.
So here’s a nickel for yr travels, little gauze
for chafe knees & flavored balms
to lick off some relief from heavy boredoms But
as quiet nights twist between yr fingers
you might mistake my token for the moon
& grab a spoon to lift the barefoot boy you see

fishing in yr palm for stars
