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 |
