You were light like tissue paper Crackling and brightly colored Falling in layers and tinting my space
I wore you like a dress And never got more compliments Though barely wrapped, lacking expertise I stretched you out in the sun To keep the grass from sticking to my skin The weatherβs been dry, and the dust felt unpleasant I held you up against the rain And invited someone under Smiling to have you between us and getting wet
And I ruined you like tissue paper Easily torn and crippled by moisture Stuck to walls in pieces The rest of you makes grotesque confetti To celebrate whatever I have left to celebrate
