Roulette
She shot and missed
Failing score, her bathroom mirror
Sidewalk utility legend
A map of what's within her
Her bones set slow enough for breath to catch her
To cinch her and make her
Swim in the well she'd covered
The piss she shook off her kicking legs to the floor
And the day breaks blurred
Like a fumbled glass of water
Noise, then nothing at all
Albatross eyes
Hang the world before her
A phantom limb
What made you hide your pictures
Was it the shame or was it
The knifepoint look of sorrow carved on your face
What made you hide your pictures
Was it the shame, or was it
The relatives who never looked your way
Staring through you into me
And the day breaks blurred
Like a fumbled glass of water
Noise, then nothing at all
Albatross eyes
Hang the world before her
A phantom limb
When James left
Stubbed his cigarette
Over the door, mark of the firstborn
When James left
The dust of so many notes
The river you cannot ford
The uncut cord of the breech-birth
The uncut cord of the breech-birth
Failing score, her bathroom mirror
Sidewalk utility legend
A map of what's within her
Her bones set slow enough for breath to catch her
To cinch her and make her
Swim in the well she'd covered
The piss she shook off her kicking legs to the floor
And the day breaks blurred
Like a fumbled glass of water
Noise, then nothing at all
Albatross eyes
Hang the world before her
A phantom limb
What made you hide your pictures
Was it the shame or was it
The knifepoint look of sorrow carved on your face
What made you hide your pictures
Was it the shame, or was it
The relatives who never looked your way
Staring through you into me
And the day breaks blurred
Like a fumbled glass of water
Noise, then nothing at all
Albatross eyes
Hang the world before her
A phantom limb
When James left
Stubbed his cigarette
Over the door, mark of the firstborn
When James left
The dust of so many notes
The river you cannot ford
The uncut cord of the breech-birth
The uncut cord of the breech-birth
