lyrics

my voice is like a coin
trapped inside an empty well.
i was just a naked arm --
my right elbow's a sculpted boar.

why isn't it coming together?
i need whatever you've got.
[string of numbers and letters]

why isn't it coming together?

i fell into the grassy waves,
sunk into the dirt.
she dropped me out of her open mouth.
she turned and turned.

i'm nothing

do you remember when
you were in the bathtub and your body
seemed like a flat image? i remember
that too. i remember how you seesawed
a soap-dulled drop of water between you
fingers like some master of gravity.

no one can hear what i say, anyway.

the water gave up its vibration to the air --
and so had sunk
back down to below
body temperature
