Gold dust

Listening to Somewhere a Clock is Ticking by Snow Patrol


The weirdest thing happened today


i saw a moth in the sink
it was shiny of
brilliant gold
and as i turned the tap
and tried to drown it

i swear gold dust came off it

and as it swirled and struggled
i thought of it's life
and it's death

and the possibility
that it bled shimmery gold
and as it's blood leaked into the drain
I saw it's final attempt to show me

how beautiful it's life had been



...i'm getting so philosophy. haha
