She told lies from her bedroom
So the pigeons could follow each other
Through the maze of South

Down towards the bay of
Where her father use to cut the wood
So the fire would rise again
Until the night came to form

She dreamt about the day
Her father would return
His tall, glacier length legs
Bronze skin onto the fair, flowing grass
Standing upright
Bless the holy sky
His chin so rigid
With his hands wedged in-between his pockets

She had forgotten a piece of him
For he dashed away in the middle of the night
Like he was on foreign land
With barrels ablaze
Shamelessly running away

His shirt was halfway out
Shoes barely tucked in
He ran and ran
As the soil of the land
Began to thicken like the cotton socks
He pulled in haste from his bedroom drawer

As he scampered into the night
She was watching...
From her bedroom window
Her lips began to pout
Like the rose of a slow breeze

So she dashed to her mother's dresser
Grabbed her favorite lipstick
And slapped it on her lips

She ran back to her bedroom window
Planted her lips on the very center
As she caught a glimpse of his fleeting shadow

Those lips pasted in the center
Still telling lies from her bedroom

I am going to take a big chance here, and make a guess at what the poem is about.

Could this be a poem about incest?

And I am a little confused by a few lines...Perhaps I am just not hip to some wording thing, but these two lines confuse me:

"She was watching É"
and
"So she dashed to her motherÕs dresser"

Interesting poem...

Ice, those were just errors made when converting from my word document to this format.  They have been corrected.

The poem is the farthest thing from incest.  It's about a small girl who who sees her father run away to never return.

Appreciate the intrepertation though.  Take care

To further explain...

She was watching him run away from her bedroom window. She didn't know if he'd ever return, so, just in case, she planted something on her window (lipstick) as if time could be frozen. So he would always be apart of their family because that shade of lipstick was present as the trail of his shadow could be seen fleeing the home.

Hence, she was telling lies from her bedroom. She was attempting to convince herself that he was and always would be apart of her life. Except, he never returned.

Cheers
