high

i don't want to bother you
and i wish i could dilute the color in my eyes
fade softly into the yellow curtains
and dissolve into the amber corners of the sky

but i don't want to bother you
so here's where i'm going to stay
pull the thin white blanket over my eyes
rest my heavy thoughts on your slinking sighs
and then smile as their weight evaporates
   and mirrors the clouds that dot the maple sky

but i don't want to bother you
so here's where i'm going to stay
i'll place this pendulum heart on an invisible string
and sink into a fall breeze as it breaks off and away
