v2

Close your eyes to coral the virtues
Is this fooling anyone else
Never worked so long and hard to cement a failure

We can blow on our thumbs and posture
But the loneliest is delicate things
The wind from a wasp could blow them

Into the sea, with stones on their feet
Lost to the light and the loving we need.

v3

With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
I click my heals get the devils in line
A list of thing I could lay the blame on that give me a way out

But with each scent it is front and center
Like a dot stuck square in your eye
Every post you can hitch your faith on is

A pie in the sky, chock full of lies
A tool we devise to make sinking stones fly
