The Knife Thrower - Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, Ginger Brooks Takahashi, Mirah

When you find the one you want

You summon them in, you blush, you flaunt

Such consummate lips betray your thoughts

To so gaily inspire a lark

You say this is a game so take your place

Then you set the mask upon your face

My silhouette in the air you trace

And the dagger performs with a start

This is the way we represent

Desire displays impermanence

Discover you now the inference

Of the lesson i wish to impart

And when the nimbus groans with thunder

Think of the clothes all cast assunder

Fragrant, the rose is filled with wonder

All that is left of my heart

This is the way we represent

Desire displays impermanence

Discover you now the inference

Of the lesson i wish to impart

And when the nimbus groans with thunder

Think of the clothes all cast assunder

Fragrant, the rose is filled with wonder

All that is left of my heart
