Sage

You scream the bitter news, in troubled nights, as if you knew, all the different ones, left hanging on the line, we loved now gone, fire burns up the flue, show me how to cry, when you are so blue, it’s not me unlocked, something deep inside, everything held and lost, no matter what you use, however much you try, no one is immune, who cares if I’m crocked, can still swim the tide, shine beyond my shock, you will smell my perfume, clouds furl against the sky, death brings no curfew, even when we die.
