I am building a bamboo
Paper tower of cards
Towards you,
You keep torching it with
A look.
Look, the glowing embers
Of leaf-fall paper catch
In my hair and set me
A-light.
Light as a feather I am
Burning for you and
Building Another bamboo
Paper tower of cards
Towards you,
You keep torching it with
A look.
Look, the glowing embers…
