Ashes
Spiral slipping sun is rising
Crashing backward falling sideways
Rain is dripping on my face.
You pull I push
Pocket full of posies
We all fall down.
Clouds gathering thunder is collapsing
Sinking down holding the ground
Taste the salt in my mouth.
You reach I fall
Rings around Roses float
Into ashes.
Fire igniting world is burning
Leaping through smashing up
My eyes are closing.
Ring around the Roses
Pocket full of Posies.
Ashes.
Ashes.
We all fall down.
