Hard Candy
Let the broken leaves be
if you can’t pick them up;
They’ll crackle into art;
Hard candy is so strong,
you knew that from the start;
Let the broken leaves be,
don’t disturb their solace;
Didn’t bring anything
except a heavy weight;
Please, keep right on going;
Let the broken leaves be
those who get chin music;
Blood sits under their nails;
Never needed the help
that laid waste to entrails.
