A slice of blue introduces
Us to the largest star

Your eyes are in everyone
And the resemblance
Is frightening

The music sores
As the night stretches
To the lonely earth

The humans take deep breaths
Waiting for the stars to fall

The scars and freckles
Fad to the color of sadness

The world is speaking up
One by one
And no one is saying anything

My dream is out and about
Loving freedom
It may never return

The music box opens slowly
The tutu-clad floozy
Refusing to spin

She never wanted to be
A routine dancer at all

Released from her petite metal spring
She lies motionless
Wishing her legs
Weren’t one
