Mumbles

And I wondered if the sun headset on you the way it had set on me

Or if the trees Caught on fire the way I thought only I could see. 

And I wondered if everything around you was falling the way it was around me. 

Or if you could even see how it was all supposed to be. 

And how do evergreens fade? 

We can pretend that the noises are the ones we want to hear

But it's all mundane after we've figured it out and all we have left is the swirling of the mouth.
