Pluto.1
the pearl starts over
a new grain of sand
we are going to find
in the planet of blue
a freshly written eviction note
a sash hanging off the horse
told the story without you
the kind of children we deserve who rob us in our sleep
we never need to believe in anything again
they take our car and money and head for the beach
