Everybody Leaves

Heartache sits thick in my mouth
a wide truck garbled in marshmallows
navigating a dead terrarium
stung into submission you can't hold
a body in thin air a coyote falling from
a cliff reaches out and then poof
a city can be taken apart and put
back together again so certain
blocks are closer to others so a hand
reaching for your own is simply
not there and you better snap out of it
and go out and get some work done
because the day looks pretty absurd
and gorgeous you sleepyhead
everybody leaves you just forgot.
