I would sign any clause stating
I was not involved
If the house would dissolve
Like it wasn’t real at all
I would claim I had no part
In a failure to restart
The only bit gripping me back
Are the footsteps and the cracks.
People skate along in woes wanting
Love to tuck in its toes
Sprawling out, and looking in
You said you could begin again
If you’re new I must be old
I faked the instructions I was told
To breathe in and then exhale
Holding my breath made me frail
No season’s gonna spurt up and take me this time
There’s no backdrop to the words I will find
Orange peels look like moon rock
When I’m nowhere and my heart stops
I would kiss any bird that
Liked the music I had heard
If the house was crumbled paint
I’d celebrate with cheap champagne
I’ve got lovely failures that
Will tear apart your welcome mats
Open yourself to boozy truth
It feels like you lost a tooth.
