Wednesday

half eaten toast.

the forest is on fire!
started at the midnight hour.
smoke began to rise.
it covered up the whole damn sky,
and us.
we'll cover up the mess
by burning all the evidence.
so you would never guess,
we did this for the sake of us,
and them.

i'd have to say, you've never looked so beautiful.
and i'd have to say, it's never been so beautiful
for us to be.


and buried in the ash,
our house looks like half eaten toast.
and you would never know,
it's still the place where we'll grow old
and die.

it's sad to say, that this is all so beautiful.
but i'm glad to say, that we could burn the universe and still
be fine.
