If I laugh
like a crow
will you know that I am joking
If I cry
like a child
will you know that I am okay
And if I run
like my ma
will you know where I am going?
Watch the big black bird
chase the rabid hound
watch the sun rise up
to make fun of the shadows where we slept
Watch your gaze downcast
like a wasp trapped in a glass
because we can see it all
from this house upon a hill
But what good is it?
like a skinny wolf
catching mice between his teeth
it can't be enough
If I stay
like a log
will you build a fence around me?
If I break
like a vase
will you throw away the flowers?
If i hurt
like a tooth
will the dentist give you gold?
But what good is it?
like her skin pulled tight
like a breath held in
like yr lines rehearsed
So if I run
like your pa
will you fix the bike and follow me?
If I tempt
like naked eve
do you think God will forgive me?
If I scream
like lucifer
does that mean that he's in me?
