My eyes close as the first note fly in the air
bright light full of color ;
a big top tent of a carnival
show in my sight
apples dipped in caramel
oxidation, the air in my lungs
the feeling that i long-lost
brought back in force
as the awkward juvenile self
consume me once again
darkness show and shape into
a mask man takes my hand in his
twirling
twirling
twirling
he leads me
but a twirl turns into sprained
down to my knees from the pain
my eyes snap open
the final note leaves the air
controversy spread to
table to table
like water flooding the room
when the name of the song is called
SASSAFRAS
but as the moments past the flood
disappear to where it came from
the night may have ended peacefully
but no one mention
the strange request from the bar
