She Stayed As Steam |
Rivers rushing at your teeth |
Cresting waves through wading valleys |
Flooded language tributaries |
Collect and cover over me |
Tensing jaw and cork screw eyelids |
As if you couldn’t bare to see |
All that water pouring from you |
Collecting clouds inside the ballroom |
Over people who don’t know you |
But darling i do |
You trance yourself back from the city |
Blood not moving to your feet |
Your foot falls tentative and muffled |
Automatic listless shuffle |
Your sidewalk scatter brain cry uncle |
You paint yourself back in your corner |
And look for her on your tv |
It’s friday night and i am hungry |
For a hand, a mouth, a body |
A love i wouldn’t have to carry |
A stitch in my mouth |
And i’m untying now |
A concrete canal |
In a bomb border town |
An echo in the rafters |
Reminding you there was a sound |
But you killed her in waves |
So she stayed as steam |
To hiss at you now |
You killed her in waves |
But that’s not today |
So you breathe through your mouth |
Try to calm yourself down |
And keep what you found |
And shout it out loud |
She can hover and hurt |
Or dissolve to dirt |
Some prayer in your mouth |
Or she might stay as steam |
So get to the beams |
To figure her out |
