Emptied of the thought of risk-taking
Dine with paper moths
That break against the wall
Counting all the stalks
Written by the window
Orange in the window
They won’t grow
Following the flocks
Between pale gates we go
Nine times out of ten I seem to
Embody your folly
Nine times out ten I try to
Embody your body
Feathers form a bird above me
That lands in the briars
Sleeping in the lots overtaken
Lie with paper moths
That flicker as they crawl
Edging down the rocks
Sidled in the shallows
Vague in the shadows where we fold
Staring at the flocks
I know my limits show
Nine times out of ten I seem to
Embody your folly
Nine times out ten I try to
Embody your folly
Feathers form a bird above me
That calls down the wires
