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

Left it in a coal bin somewhere outside Missouri .
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
