lyrics

For a bit
I will take all glad finishes,
gauzed in hope,
and throw them in the hamper to stew.

Because there is something here, now.
Shimmering in laughter at giving hope the slip.
And it's you.

I will, for awhile, take all my souvenirs,
warn smooth by nostalgic hands,
caste in black with regret,
and I'm gonna pawn them off for something new.

Because there is something here, now.
Glistening.
Mischievous.
Having de-masked regret to find only a mannequin.
And it's you.
