|
Sunset on Snohomish. |
|
Burn the tree line down. |
|
Hold my hopes underwater, |
|
Stand there and watch them drown. |
|
Fishing out their bodies, |
|
From the bathroom sink. |
|
Leave them in a bucket, |
|
Til they start to stink. |
|
I think I'll stay here, |
|
Til I feel whole again. |
|
I don't know when. |
|
Trout swim past the fishing lines. |
|
Sky gets dark and close. |
|
Cars start up and make, |
|
Their nightly exodus. |
|
On a picnic bench alone, |
|
Watch the sky go dark. |
|
Dig my nails into my hands, |
|
Hope it leaves a mark. |
|
I think I'll stay here, |
|
Til I feel whole again. |
|
I don't know when. |
