The stink of incense fills my chilly attic perch and i awake to the sound of clacking looms. so as cats bat at the tassels of my hooded shirt i lay motionless 'til afternoon. and as planned you are both gone when i descend. i mark the chalkboard and drive away aloneto where thick muddy water curls with menace with regret and slops its verdict on the sagging shore. i watched you thrive there. i nearly died there. i watched you thrive there. you settled to find peace. i settled in defeat. back in town i've found you both out for a drink. the streets have emptied but flags sprouted up like trees. and the entire bar is reading captions on a screen while the same image constantly repeats. chorus. mists condensing on the mountains like a bruise like structures falling; the dust encompassed me. oh i have seen the leaf the blossom and the fruit; now i'll be witness to the withering. i watched you thrive there. i nearly died there. i watched you thrive there; you found everything you need. i never tried there. i couldn't survive there. i just watched you thrive thereit was so beautiful to see. but it's best now that i leave.
