Orchids - Momotaro

The goodbye wave

The smile that seethes

Glinting eye

The Lion’s teeth

I’m walking alone, walking alone

I’m walking alone

The orchid fields

The edge of time

I dragged my heels

Beyond the line

I’m walking alone, walking alone

I’m walking alone

Brittle glass backbone

And tired eyes

Liquid lungs

That might arise

Peace and laughter

Dopamine and

Overstep, and

the fool, and overdrive

Pupils dilated

To the side, to the side

The blindest light

An implosive sound

The image flashes

Come back around

I’m walking alone, walking alone

I’m walking alone

Step though the gaps

Never to be found

Skyline to skyline

Town to town

I’m walking alone, walking alone

I’m walking alone

Brittle glass backbone

And tired eyes

Liquid lungs

That might arise

Peace and laughter

Dopamine and

Overstep, and

the fool, and overdrive

Pupils dilated

To the side, to the side
