lyrics

alright i’ll look and lock down on something
when am i allowed to leave?
i keep my fist jammed in a half-full cup of Starbucks
the air forgot to let me breathe
i ate entire box of mints just to get myself to calm down & join the figures in the trees
all strung in copper gowns & sexless in the cold rain
so fast that i can see them changing just for me

when i transform into a perfect mighty woman
might i be midas in my home?
with baking bread becoming golden in the furnace?
perfect & cold & all alone

i know that soon i will be pulled away
so i allow myself two leaves
& take them home & keep them golden in the gray light
& i make sure to let them breathe

on my way home something is wafting through the figures
billowing up through the east
warmth seeping through the rain and spreading through my body
the stalest smell of baking yeast
