Flowers Bloom Mandalay

Sometimes
The reflection I see
Bears no
Resemblance to me

Sometimes
I look around the place I live
And wonder
How I came to choose the things I did

In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles

Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind
Shin to toe to thigh to mind

Sometimes
I wake and know the time will come
The day unfolds
Someday
That everything will resonate
Flowers bloom
In desolate places
