Found a grain of salt masquerading as love cut like a diamond
Twinkling in the midnight ruff of ponderosa sawdust eyes

It danced a fox-trot to coral lips slipping shadow puppet promises
I stole it from them and stashed it in my pocket to keep it safe

When I went to give it back all I found was salt stained lint
