Black

He’s bright and mad and I’m too drunk to walk straight
I’ll just end up like his lion
Roaring weak while he beats stars into my mane
Until all I see is black
I flipped a coin in the kitchen
She started crying when she saw it was tails
She said: «I guess it means that I’m moving»
Bones rolled through the bird on her wrist like wind through a veil
You better not look
Back
'Cause all you’ll see
Is black
«Where do you think you’ll be going?»
I mumbled quietly through my chipped front teeth
But I don’t think she could hear me
For the screech of passing trains and all the sobbing
She dropped her hands from her face
I saw her bird fall how light bends
Then I thought of Orion
And if he could fall how her bird did then
Would he bleed out like prisms?
All cut up and colorful
A constellation with a crack in his skull
A constellation with a crack in his skull
She said
Better not sleep
Like that
'Cause all you’ll see
Is black
