leaves

what's in the sky?

leave the ashes on
till you watch them fall
at your feet

listen to the gasoline drip
and the animals crawl
at your feet

and you let your words
trail out of your mouth
with the smoke you just inhaled

you converse with the leaves
about the past twelve months
and the relationships you've failed

let the night go by
watch the moon as it fades
and don't cry

the seasons are changing
and the sun's coming up
in the sky

and you feel your thoughts
drift off with the moon
blow all the ashes away

forget conversing with leaves
and open up your eyes
tell the sky what you have to say

by: me.
