If it fell from the sky
Not like rain
But like a drop of blood
Could you catch it
On your tongue?
If it hurt your ears
Like the screech of a train
Running off the tracks
Like the howl
Of an abandoned mother
Would you listen?
If it burned your eyes
Like the bright sun
So beautiful but painful,
Forbidden to stare at,
Could you ever possibly
Stand to look?
The pain of the world
What if it fell
On your shoulders?
Like a desperate man
And his bottle of booze
Would you chug the fire
Or break what is fragile? |
