lyrics

The trees inside my walls
remember when their only view was branches.
Now they creak just like my knees. Tomorrow (like me) they fall.

The mountains in my hearthstone
sing a requiem to spacious, silent skies.
Distant seashore fill my windowpanes.
Tomorrow, we all wash away.

The Ohio courses through my pipes,
tiny droplets of conscious, bridgeless past.
Steel faucet, cotton towel, skin and porcelain —
ritual, clean.

This bed, too wide for years, bends to embrace this tired structure.
Violins tell stories in vinyl. No one tastes, no one hears us dance.
(Thin grey socks, pressed trousers,
sacred breathing floorboards.)

And if we fall, it as the moon falls eternally around her dear earth.
They will say I died alone, but they mistake my body for me.
