You’ve never been so lovely
You’ve never been so liquid
Like a sky made of metal
Like a sky full of ashes
You smell like thunder in the meadow
Where we buried your mother’s Atari
Games last summer! Where we buried
A jar full of pennies and marbles!
You shine like a stolen radio
In the broken window of a pawnshop
You ripple in the wind like your sister’s belt
Nailed it to a tree by the buckle
What a morning that was, this is!
I couldn’t, I can’t close my eyes, I feel
Like a potato clawing its way
Through the dirt to look at the sun
You’ve never been so lovely
You’ve never been so liquid
Like a sky made of metal
Like a sky full of ashes
