trace the edges of the carpet with her toes
candle holder, firefly, the curtain swivels
streetlamps between the folds
piano key to press.
empty thud. that makes
the silence all her own
doubt it doubt it doubt it doubt it
every moment of comfort
push her down the cement steps and hold her
ever so softly
that's it that's if that it that's it that's if
hold her to your chest and press her tears
like honeycomb (you can)
take her home and scream and sing
with each breath
no one's ever gonna love you
like your child
no one's ever gonna know you like your
no no matter how heavy the hammer
Baby where are you running to ??
run
run
till your chest implodes
collapse. come up
i'll be here to hold you
in the way
only a mother knows

they were selling tickets to see a monster
caged and roiling in its own shit and piss
cover it. let it roll over and cover it with hay
i looked for her face. she recognized me
i was scared they would see i was the same
i bought a soft apple to throw
all i could do was laugh
all the terror of hiding
hiding brought the fear
fear brought the shivering
the shivering brought me here
did or dozen
push to peril
grind down your
stagger summer teeth
to wonder
oh please
please give me another chance
gods please give me another chance
this time this time this time i swear
by everything i have
i'll i will i will i will
put a penny on my tongue to shut my sobbing
alley way to duck in muddy stone
i couldn't look away. look a-
i couldn't. couldn't look away
oh ease
please give me another chance
gods please give me another chance
this time i swear it i swear i will
i swear it by everything i love
by the wildfire sky by the clotted air
by the braided hair whip made of grasses
i swear
please give me another chance
