After the Storm

[Verse 1] Rain soaked and poached and trees weep Cut from cut and spliced, retaped Wrapped and sealed in bedding Cast out thinner than your lips Overstuffed and flustered all the same Pale gray fits with twirling strands of hair It’s peeling, leaves a residue Joins the hanging dust in the room Fibers stretched and pulled apart Sweat squeezes down into your heart Tendons loose in evening hum To plot out points of no return [Verse 2] Interwoven shames ripping at the seams Interwoven memories, knotted funny dreams Ripped tablecloth pulled underneath Bruised and crooked yellow teeth Waxy crumpled stitched-up fabric cloth Resonate in my palm Echoes in your arms Plot out points of no return [Verse 3] Rebuild your vision Listless daring, to come undone Careful threading, strands into one We could stall in fear, we could fall from here Rebuild your vision Listless daring to come undone Careful threading strands into one Carry us to safety We could stall in fear, we could fall from here
