When the asphalt starts to weep The sun will sate his grudge Will prove he is not weak Be satisfied and smug Even the water will reverse The trees turn inside out The clouds will rain with ash The Earth will cease to hum When you fall from your tower We will erase your name And chip away from every letter As though you had never been When the insects become wingless On the cake left in the hallway The sweetest amputations Full bellies and still heartbeats I will be your support A beam that's built to buckle A rope around your ankle That's tethered to a fading star When you fall from your tower We will erase your name And chip away from every letter As though you had never been When you fall from your tower We will erase your name And chip away from every letter As though you had never been
