Rain King (Live) by Counting Crows

calypso

walking fast
i part crowds like ships

traffic stops

i am
beautiful in motion

scars on my face like birds

in my yard
for once

i am going without you,
happy.
my hair blows

like sunshine

or rain
it will not be alone

every   one i pass
watches me go

words playing
delicately on their lips   like wings

for me

(i see it in their eyes)

i elicit smiles
like no woman ever has each time

i pass them
the same,

walking fast.
floating.

they only

see enough    to smile....
