Lyrics
noticed a change / an echoing absence
a jarring replacement / an upset to average
curated history / cutting half of it out
wore a ring on your finger
where has that ring gone now?
somewhere your death stops traffic
somwhere you’ll generate black
huerfano: a presence missing
i only observe the lack
you mean somethings to someones
you mean nothing to me
uninvited, i attend at a distance
i watch the wake on a screen
like tread tracks ground in the median
like a dead doe against the wall of a tunnel
like a last breath left hanging in air
suspended in a shallow-wash grave
blood and water mixture / the whey after the strain
nurses and the locksmith / knuckles wrenched and white
robert never answered / ‘cause robert had died
they found his body drained and gray
life on the walls / life on the mirror / life on the sink
did he stand there full of holes and say:
“i’ve been cobbling ghosts—
these forms i’ve evoked, they won’t stay.”
like tread tracks ground in the median
like a dead doe against the wall of a tunnel
like a last breath left hanging in air
