Transmute

Six foot seven mirror weight

There is no one better

That is all you will seek

It’s your one true lever

I know no way out

It’s all tethered

I hope to be spared

From your divine hammer

You, always spying through

Jaded eye, naked eye

Even liars can forget

All the fables said

Every angle bent

Six foot seven mirror weight

A known pleasure

Everything you say is true

Til the day you’re caught

I know no way out

There’s no taming the shrew

Won’t you sulk right there

In bruised weather

You, always spying through

Jaded eye, naked eye

Wealthy choirs couldn’t fetch

Tone that wasn’t deaf

No matter how they wept

Why did you pretend?

We would be alright

Everything’s a mess

We’ll never figure it out
