Semaphores

Antlers caught in the branches
I'm just trying to get back home
With the windows down
Birdnest caught in the rafters
I'm just trying to get it down
A tangle of wires
Some foreign language I don't know

The feeling percolates the room
Why are you standing next to me
So tell me why
I bite my tongue and let it bleed
Let new scars form between my teeth
I used to lean into your voice
Carrying my name each day
Well, but now
You only speak in semaphores
Porch lights don't turn on anymore

Talking slow
The radio
Pushing through
But it's not you

Too hard to see the words to write
Or to release into the air
So I don't know
Why I can't find an open door
Before you up and close five more
The feeling percolates the room
I find myself again near you
It's just now
You only speak in semaphores
I recite shitty metaphors

Talking slow
The radio
Pushing through
But it's not you
Fading in
And out again
For something new
Afraid it's you
