Dreamin' by Amos Lee

lake wood

all alone
in paper arches, the sky

threatens (me) to bloom.
out of flowers

i lay
undone
on the desk.

i make them solid
out of paper.

winds blowing,
birds folding.

origami
in my heart...

they say
i may be a girl.

i don't know.

maybe i'm a crane.

white trees creased inside my hands
begin to swirl.
the birds

unfold their wings.

without you,
my shapeless ways make horizontal planes
on the horizon:

on the smashed up,
creased up world.

i made myself an
origami bird

for you...
