lyrics

At night 
Before sleep interferes
I fall in a backward slide home 
The smell of eau de cologne

A drawer full of pillowcases
Yellow-stained, edged in lace
Difficult to open


Modern life is to remember
Following the arid stream
And to forget again, again 
Just before I fall, I lean 

At night
Amidst houses that hum
I listen for a sound to make sure
You are still alive because of others who have died


A werewolf passing in the hall
My mother's breasts each with a name
And all the shards of coastal blue lodged within our lungs


Modern life is to remember
Following the arid stream
And to forget again, again 
Just before I fall, I lean 

How do I wrestle through another night, how do I
Why does he ask me to bury him twice
When all the sisters of my mother rise, what if I
Can’t tell them how much I love them
Tell them how much I love them

Modern life is to remember
Following the arid stream
And to forget again, again 
Just before I fall, I lean
