The grass is wearing my lipstick   and there's frost on my face.      I see no trace          of the bird that took my shoe.       The trees are looming over,              taking fun of my fallen state.             Is there nothing better for them to do?           My cheeks are redder than a        snowstorm,      the bugs are in my hair.          The bird has taken my other shoe,     They're tied up on the fairy lights.     Do they truly not care?     Because I fall they do not fight      their own fights. A rabbit grew wings and gave me back           my shoes. The grass returned my lipstick and the frost   cooled down my face.        Tomorrow I may fall again,          But of the trees,          there will be no trace.

The Grass Is Wearing My Lipstick
The grass is wearing my lipstick   and there's frost on my face.      I see no trace          of the bird that took my shoe.       The trees are looming over,              taking fun of my fallen state.             Is there nothing better for them to do?           My cheeks are redder than a        snowstorm,      the bugs are in my hair.          The bird has taken my other shoe,     They're tied up on the fairy lights.     Do they truly not care?     Because I fall they do not fight      their own fights. A rabbit grew wings and gave me back           my shoes. The grass returned my lipstick and the frost   cooled down my face.        Tomorrow I may fall again,          But of the trees,          there will be no trace.
One of my most cherished pieces.
