Nicole Of The Paper Stars

from A Collection of Xs & Ys by Hello Whirled

/

about

written in 2016

lyrics

paper stars you collected and cherished
colored in with dotted lines
in paper jars you bottled and embellished
stained the perimeter with purple times

the safest nothing that carries you home
to take you away safely
on a paper star trail
it can't possibly fail
it hasn't yet
and it never will
and if you pass on
the trail will set still

dreamlands of fairy tale freedoms and love sports
lung division and commercial-sized experts
the nude queen sits stoned at the end of the courtroom
deciding the fate of your natural paper mind

the safest way out is at the fold
to preserve your tears
to warp the leaf
that made your home
it hasn't burned yet
and it never will
but when you pass it on
it may catch wind of an ill

Nicole, are you breathing okay?
the paper stars aren't going away
do you have anything left to say?

I just wanted to say
I think I miss you already
