      <description>“grandpiano”&#xD;
&#xD;
Grand piano sing me a tune&#xD;
About a dying face in the moon.&#xD;
Kill me a thousand notes in D sharp&#xD;
And sign it off to the sake of making art.&#xD;
My plastic heart wants their fleshy parts to suffer the same as I,&#xD;
But I know that place ‘cause I’ve fixed my gaze on their cuts and cried.&#xD;
&#xD;
Speak this swampwater song, sordid lullaby, “so long,”&#xD;
Steal away in the daytime, a mist hides my face is gone.&#xD;
Corridor leading to the caller calling leaden lips to the witness,&#xD;
Who can be this fallen bleeding girl? Oh, my sweetness!&#xD;
&#xD;
Two’s tonality, and three’s credulity-&#xD;
A pair’s exclusivity lost on my naïveté&#xD;
That I could be, well, see…never mind it.&#xD;
&#xD;
A single note sought for a key&#xD;
A rhythm and a harmony&#xD;
Split your lips to whisper a kiss&#xD;
From your heart through your fingertips&#xD;
Don’t stutter……&#xD;
&#xD;
Shape the words, don’t speak,&#xD;
Forget me&#xD;
You have your song&#xD;
And another just pining on.&#xD;
What’s not good is right for me&#xD;
A chord uncut, bound by faith, conceive.&#xD;
Shorn of certainty that tomorrow is new&#xD;
I know it’s just not true, I found out because of you&#xD;
&#xD;
Drum this on your knees&#xD;
To the sound of seven strings&#xD;
They give me strength for every day&#xD;
A reassuring timbre wrapped around my waist&#xD;
Under the cover of this ripe and shining color&#xD;
Is the fruit my heart and soul require.&#xD;
&#xD;
Sweet on my tongue &#xD;
and warm on my face.</description>
