seeds of a thief
hear my pleas
store that hope
in the crease of a leaf
still i seethe at the height of a fence
at the height of my life it wasn't worth it yet
notes to myself
on wet deathbeds
i relate
to that reticence
mistaking the pennies for pheasants
stay devoted this wasn't worth it yet
so I shook hands
with a gust of wind
which took my plans
and sucked em in
cooked glass
out of dust on a whim
no matter to trust a dumb kid
see the day
near indeed
like molten brass
the sky will be
set to shear the woolly mountains
weave it neat into what's recommended
a rain
to make of my pain
an itchy vest
fits all the same
heed the fingers of the blazing fire
set to pluck out your salty wires
