Be smaller, quieter
Fit between the words
Curl within the questions
Vault upon the verbs
-
Be who we want
The mold we make
The statue of
A different name
-
Your cracks aren’t set
Here let me help
Some spackle here
Or duct tape now
-
Dance just to the right
Now to the left
Close your mouth
Don’t ruin it
-
Misfit you are
On our island here
But you’re the toy
And we’re the hands
-
Sew tight your lips
Dim now your smile
You’re here to stay
A frozen girl
Upon
Our
Isle
