lyrics

Play at the sun
green glow-worms twinkle on their strings
in your light
ribbons hanging from my bones and I am you
a jellied chrysalis untouched by the frost
of the sun

Open your hand
you are paper in the rain a singing bell
I can’t tell if holes were made by birds or stones
would you hide the veins of sugar in your eyes
in your hands

Look at the sky
there is something in the light that makes me cold
see how crystallized our bodies would decay
not knowing what the sky looked like before we knew
it was a sky
