July

Walking on the ice
You reach for the branches
Cedar and ashes

Thought about your life
How the sky started changing
Couldn't explain it

Counting down from ten
As slowly as you can
I don't like it
Don't like it

Can we start again?
Dragging out the end
I don't like it
Don't like it

Don't like it, don't like it

You were on the porch
High on the ladder
Painting for hours

Patterns on your arm
Stars made of paper
Try not to wake her

Counting down from ten
As slowly as you can
I don't like it
Don't like it

Can we start again?
Dragging out the end
I don't like it
Don't like it

Don't like it, don't like it
Don't like it, don't like it
Don't like it, don't like it

Don't like it, don't like it
Don't like it, don't like it
Don't like it, don't like it
