Cinder

There's a girl in a window

Twisting braids in her hair

There's a girl in a window

But there's no window there

She is weaving her fingers

Through each tangle and turn

It's a moment to linger

It's a moment to burn

The world's a cinder

Yo soy muy linda

Sit back and watch me...

There's a bird in the cupboard

There's a bird at the gate

There's a bird on my headboard

And a bird on my plate

There's a cloudburst of starlings

Pouring down on the square

And a girl in a window

Twisting braids in her hair

The world's a cinder

Yo soy muy linda

Sit back and watch me...

I've been talking a blue streak

But it's all so absurd

With this small noisy creature

Tearing holes in my words

There’s a glass on the nightstand

And a bed still unmade

And a girl in a window

With her hair in a braid

The world's a cinder

Yo soy muy linda

Sit back and watch me...

The world's a cinder

Yo soy muy linda

Sit back and watch me...
