Legs akimbo,
Naughty eyes playing tricks.
Cups her hands to catch the tears,
Let them think she's crying.
Watch the sky turn black,
The sea fade white,
The rest is spinning grey.
Shadows of the 'morrow rise,
Slip in shades of yesterday.
Watch her cold feet,
Feral eyes,
Captured like a doe in headlights,
Shakes her head in wonder,
As the world spins away.
