Tender Ums |
Oh there’s a hole in my chest |
And a man in a velvet jacket |
He prays in my father’s accent |
Waking to a kinder sadness on the floor of the airport chapel |
To Mary’s empty arms |
The body wasn’t made for this sort of placelessness |
I check mine at the gate |
Wasn’t carved from the clay to be castaway |
Displaced till no places remain |
I came to your eyes wide open and apologize on impulse |
Embarrassed to be seen by you |
Your name is a kind of sadness |
I will hold it on my tongue |
There is safety in my quiet |
I am helpless in my love |
I will speak it only softly |
The body wasn’t made for this sort of placelessness |
Abandoned at the gate |
Didn’t make with your own to grow strange like this |
From the plane, I can see to your place |
Didn’t claw at the gate to be damned like this |
Your eyes, your hands, your face |
Wasn’t carved from the crowd just to fade away |
Till all that remains is a name |
Your name is a far away place |
