Wormtongue du jour
Here, noir, reasons running
Giving better judgment its rest
Transmuting misdirection, miseducation
As a Monday cup of Sundays' scraps of love
Banshee dependably at the table
Clear yourself from my shoulder
For my lane needs clarity and edges and sweat
I can walk the city of my own shadows
Without the lights of your noise
Mirrors cannot see my approach and I prefer
Agency to any shorthand you're selling
Forgive this control
I sloe this gin, chew this beef, dance these hands
Clasp these wildfires and save the love they hold
Let's get apart and forget it could never happen
Neck-to-neck, swan-to-bard; I cannot fly
You cannot sing to me
