lyrics

and i woke in the kitchen,
my foot further out the door.
i can see through the cracks
some blurry-nether fury-weather
dark, amoebic universe.
i was born in a hospital,
teeth all stained and white.
and the trees out the windows
spread out their branches and shatter the glass
to shed the snow like skin.

i've grown scared of my body
with it's monolithic loom.
on the verge of collapse
and crush and clatter some cracked bone structure
and leave the skin to float above.
pinkly forward on a bed somewhere in 2015-
"does life lie in the body, the mind?
the mother, the child, or somewhere in between?"
-my heart and your soft skin.

i was born in a hospital
and i'm never going back.
i will die among branches,
the trunks of trees and windblown leaves
that push me through

the criss-crossing carbon
and chaos un-horrible!
sleepless i (crying-eyed) drove to the hospital-
greeted by sliding doors, chaos and nothingness,
i screamed to nothing behind the reception desk!

and i was returned but a whisper.
