Raccoons

You spoke too soon.

And jumped the gun.

And this trail of guts

Tells me I’m done

With feeling small.

This love was huge

Too huge for me now

Too huge for you

And the raccoons spin a ballad outside

As I sob myself thin in smoke tonight.

I walked alone, then ran too fast.

These feet are sore I tried my best

To light your in starry sights

A glow of faith now with me in mind

And the raccoons spin a ballad outside

As I sob myself thin in smoke tonight.

And this air leaves scents to curse my sleep.

Wrapped in picture frames and dirty laundry.

You spoke too soon and now I’m done.
