we're blending the lyrics & notes
to strum of guitar riffs
you drunk-sway as goldfish in fish-
bowl
i play the piano (off)key
as soaked flowers
by summer rain
our faces are blue
with sweet refrains & kisses
bravely, we watermark the album
with our names

Oh, Grace. This is quite simply beautiful. Swaying like those goldfish, as I listen in.

ReplyDeleteOh yes, Grace, I love your song credits quadrille, the ‘strum of guitar riffs’ and off-key piano, and especially the thought of drunk-swaying as goldfish in a bowl.
