Caprice

Branch in the breeze

waving slowly back and forth as if asleep

break piece by piece

or just by sheer caprice decide to let go

How will you spin this one

you'd never stand your stains

now as the island sinks

and you'll still praise the rain

and then you'll cry at dusk when the day is done

you'll exit or expire in the evening sun

Army of lies

now denial of denial's your disguise

cope, grasp your hope

as the rope around your neck pulls tighter
