Pillow Mountain

The absence of the sun
Her skates with ribbons on
You're running like a thief
While looking back at me, old friend

Intended as a gift
They taught you to resist
My cold inhale of fresh delight that fires up the moon each night

And so I'm back again
Like nervous kids on the bench
They're waving me goodbye
Melting me to floods
Drip-dried

My name remains misunderstood
I'm not your mrs. Hollywood
Cold kisses on the face
But still a warm embrace of mine

Why are you questioning?
Came here to tuck you in
Born in a symphony
A quiet melody
Spinning constantly on repeat

Pink lips with frozen words on top
Roe wrapped in paper
Sharp raindrops
White carpet
Mighty pillow mountain
Captain of the day
Shuffling me away
Crusty creeks
Rocking wild bears back to sleep
