yesterday's heap
I can hear spiders crawl along the walls
with porcelain webs that echo noise
they're tangled up in last nights grids
of late night thoughts and upset pigs
I can hear little drips along the walls
from rusted pipes and little girls
who stay up all night and rock to sleep
thinking of yesterday's spiders and how they creep
I can hear cats crawling up the scape
with slinky paws and whispering feet
they crawl and crawl and make their leap
into yesterday's forgotten heap
So the little girl who sleeps and sleeps
and weeps and weeps
hears little angels feet along the walls
and whispers kindly to crawling feet
all along porcelain webs of yesterday's spiders
