Mustang grapes: you and I
Traipsing through the woods at dusk
Taken by the fragrant musk
Of the fallen trees and the wilding rhapsodies
Of mockingbirds, coyotes
And the comforting lull of someone calling
Oh, there were delusions, too:
You thought you were the Moon King
With half the world, swooning
Before your cool radiance
Unlike the sun, so blithely glorious
You were a lucent pool of quiet reflection
Time is a funny thing, eternally vanishing
And we just take it as it goes
Leaving us in its wake of shadows
Mustang grapes: you and I
Trapsing through the woods at dusk
Now you’re just a ghost, a trace, a husk
A phantom, a phantom, a phantom, a phantom
