Noa

Mushrooms

Noa


sometimes I am pitted and bare 
like a small bookstore after a fire 
I know I'll find no harbor there 
the stormy waves keep getting higher 

sometimes I am washed of color 
like a drawing on the sidewalk after rain 
and I know the time is right now 
to give birth to words again 

Big Mushroom over the city 
police are running tests 
Little Mushroom 
she was found 
squeezed in with all the rest 

sometimes there is no road 
like the Day of Atonement in a car 
and everything looks different with 
a broken heart 

Big Mushroom over the city 
police are running tests 
Little Mushroom 
she was found 
squeezed in with all the rest 

Sometimes I am numb of anger 
like the Square where memory will wane 
and I try to find comfort in written words 
for this burning pain 

Big Mushroom over the city 
police are running tests 
Little Mushroom 
she was found 
squeezed in with all the rest 

Big Mushroom over the city 
who's to tell the futures course? 
Little Mushroom 
she was found 
far away from the forest.
