Horchata, by Vampire Weekend: Lyrics to Poem
Krissy’s are here! http://krissyranae.com/2012/05/01/another-one-pulled-from-a-song/
boots and fists to pound on the pavement
the streets, they rumble
as pedestrians pass.
they walk, strut, jog
their way into homogeneity
uninterrupted
pavement pulsing,
the life, the blood
the heartbeat
no one step has any influence
there is no individual
but the city
she is each. and all.
years go by and hearts start to harden
once pliant
almost even meek
with a heart that bounces
she was eager tot please
eventually, disappointed
a single cell in her heart
crystallized
a protection for the future.
with a whince she skipped on
again a let down
bigger than the last
two cells then
boys came and went
and left their marks as well
the years passed
and the scars piled u
now a solid mass
and the shell
built to keep a heart safe
is in danger of shattering.
