lyrics

Winter
Surreptitious
Meeting
Of expeditious
Matchbook
Proxy siblings
Propinquity inspiring

Promise taken
Conflagration
Explicating
All their woes

Oh ghost of Harry Truman
Why won’t you listen
If anyone could please hear me I would thank them
Zelda Fitzgerald won’t you
Lend me your name and
Take me to the place they hid you away

for me beneath the lights

Small town
Imbrication
Furtive
And slight elation
River
Running through it
Your voice
So mellifluous

Pyrrhic meeting
Bucolic dream
Evanescent
Limerence

Incandescent tree
Wither wander from me
I’ll try
Finding you asleep
Beneath the willow branch
At night
Effervescent scraps
of wisps of scarves and sleeves
we’ve dyed
Reds and aubergines
Remembering it all
In spite

Take me to the lake
To see the place my sister wept
Fear and broken things
the dark and the loss of her name
In that run down home
I saw your filthy spirit roam

Incandescent tree
Wither wander from me
I’ll try
