Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.

In May, the fog slips
Into the city nestling
Against glass and steel
I am perched at the bar and
Swim in music and murmurs
Yellow flowers painted on cream walls
crying, screaming, set me free
she spins, and turns, trapped captive
in her own home, echoes heartbreak
locked in and alone.
