Static Mouth

Moments you think that you know things
Are usually followed by moments
That prove you were wrong
Like earlier I witnessed it snowing
Only to come back out to find just water
Soaking in the ground

Move over, head that tops off my body
Move closer, hips that brush on my side
Move over, phrases that used to bring legs down
Swinging arms, static mouth

Times I finally let my legs start running
It seems the people around me
Start dropping like flies
And there wasn't any signs of them slowing
It's just that breathing gets harder
With passage of time

Move over, head that tops off my body
Move closer, hips that brush on my side
Move over, phrases that used to bring legs down
Swinging arms, static mouth

The daisies below are changing to stones
Their petals have flown
Further westward to decompose
Or so goes the cycle

Move over, move closer, move over, move closer
To me
