lyrics

Your skin is in me

I crease your lifeline,
Grooved in my hand.
Count the flags on the body
Where you once claimed your land.
Pull out the tongue
Those years have blistered.
Unwind the ears
Containing the whispers.
Thin the blood too thick
To run wild.
Stillbirth the remains
Of my inner child.
Fracture the skull,
Then pick out pieces
Of bone from my hair.
But even when scalped
I still feel you there.
I taper the lines
Of the cloth you’ve torn,
But they hang from my flesh
Weathered and worn.
I count my reflections,
Practice saying
You are alone.
Then count the hours
Until you get home.
