Definitions will spawn in a new window (Wordnet):

the broken wheel
1994

you were a child
 1
a rosebush blooming
 2
under dust of snow
 3
and life was just a whisper
 4
 
in the summer
 5
oranges bled sweet juice
 6
down your chin
 7
and their stickiness
 8
you suckled from your lips
 9
washed it down with giggles
 10
 
lying in the grass
 11
the pink sunset seeps inside you
 12
and your lashes fall against your cheeks
 13
 
as you sleep
 14
living oceans to the east
 15
are chanting hymns of sacred secrets
 16
to ease the silence of the night
 17
 
behind your eyes
 18
you're indigo
 19
the colors you remember
 20
twist and fly
 21
fireworks escaping into the stars
 22
burying themselves in the dark.
