Silver Malcolm

Fixated on a color

I tried hard not to move

And though the room was spinning

I never felt confused.

I knew of my short-comings

The day it made the news

From the balcony of my hotel

When God gave the salute.

I was followed by a spaceship

I was taken by surprise

Aware that you would come back

When I saw you in the sky

And I made a reservation to be seated at your side

Sewing in my tongue so I can taste the wine.

I will wear the atmosphere

And you will be a light

Replacing every star that fell

When you tore out the sky

You should have given warning

When turning on your side

My eyes get dilated

When you call me in my mind

I’ll have no one to talk to

If I am left behind.
