Ankles to Stone

from Empty​-​Worded Verses by Fort Loveless

/

lyrics

the walls of sunflower stems
are calling for winter to end
and I sit alone with my
ear to the phone and pretend

you don’t see
all the holes you could poke in my lofty design
you don’t need
me to talk till I choke on words I can’t find

baby you’ve got the touch
and every stroke of your brush
blooms like the cherries
beneath which I buried my crutch

so tie both my ankles to stone
with the thickest of threads
‘cause I’m staying a while with you
outside of my head
