Holopaw - Cinders lyrics

rate me

This little cloud, <br />

with it's papery lungs,<br />

went up in cinders at it's first breath...<br />

It couldn't hold the light from the prairie fire burning brightly below. <br />

<br />

Gangling... breathing hard, the fawn, <br />

she took a cautious step then spilled full frame into the kitchenette,,,<br />

feet slippery from the ash.<br />

<br />

The glass snake cut the ash...<br />

carved ribbons around the smolderings...<br />

only to tie a knot at my feet in a pool of gasoline.<br />

<br />

The pines went up with a "hush"<br />

then slow-burned, whimpering. <br />

I was a flurry of cinders pulled in ribbons from the car.<br />

You were tiny anchors at my sleeve.

<br />
