Vireo, Staring at the Stars

from The Ides of Spring by Luna Moth

/

lyrics

There's a song in my esophagus and I gotta get it wet so I'm not waiting for the summertime to light my cigarette and I'm not waiting for the equinox to knock my heavy head into the trees where we can sit till spring and watch the cherry blossoms blow in spirals on the breeze into the window of a room decorated with coral reefs, oh Dostoevsky, won't you tell me what it really really means to be a tadpole in a tornado.

Little tiny tadpole blowing blindly in the storm, oh how unmerciful the universe into which you were born, but what a miracle your molecules have done to give you form. So I'll just grow a beard when I get bored and have another zinfandel in homage to the surreptitiously disintegrating situation, undeterred that soon my sideburns will be earthworms safe at home under the dirt, but that's ok, cause it's today and you're my Vireo, oh my Vireo, scarlet-headed sprite, and it's been quiet here without these constant crises on my mind,
Oh Vireo, oh my Vireo, the city warning sirens are inciting fear- we're just two feathers in bad weather along for the ride.
