my rules are yours and the gods’ now, the hearts and their hands are printed on the walls
now yours are tucked inside the corner
secretly hoping to be opened, to be noticed
in this abandoned tree house you never did bulid yourself,
surrounded by a grove of trees and grass
I said you
never saw the sky
so blue
so blue
so blue.
