Rosehips 01:22
You hold each piece, Folded and frail, Tucked wings hinting at down. Unfurled your weakness has open arms, Surrenders to the dawn. Do you even know that there's a next step? A symbol sounded by trumpets? A hydra of red tongues spilling from you lips Once pursed now open. Who decides the day on which your rosehips spread to the sun? Who decides the day on which your rosehips spread to the sun?

I'm the bird in your mouth Fast heart settling No harm in a little game Your teeth round a heavy-lidded pawn. Drive your fangs to the gum Patient predator No pause for the harm you've done But you'll take your time. I'm the bird in your mouth. In this cradle of spires I feel everything Sandpaper wave lapping me awake I don't know how to swim. So I close my eyes Let the streetlamp blur I know what I am now, You saw it first. I'm the bird in your mouth.

What's the word for "hello"? Is it a loaded promise or a pretense? No blood exchanged, just hand sweat. I guess we have a while, So let's decide now where it ends. What's the word for "goodbye"? One that doesn't mean I'll see you again? That swallows nostalgia the moment it's said? There's a space in your absence, It fills the room 'til I forget where breath begins.
