Dead leaves on the ground
Don’t make a sound
I smelt ’em down
To build a crown
Leaf litter, nature’s glitter
Ash and bark an almsgiver
Smelt it down, make it mine
Beauty rots, and that’s just fine
Forest floor confetti rain
All that’s left of summer’s pain
I don’t clean—I decorate
With the pieces degenerate
Leaf litter, nature’s glitter
Ash and bark an almsgiver
Smelt it down, make it mine
Beauty rots, and that’s just fine
You see mess
I see design
You see death
I see something divine
Leaf litter, nature’s glitter
Layered lies that never wither
Smelt it down, I make it mine
Texture built from rot and time
