lyrics

Outstanding home
where the decades sat proud,
as flat as Bibles.
I put trust in our pictures,
so we didn’t have to speak.
You know, I harboured true affection.
No poems;
you were warm soil,
you were steeples and domes.
The rest, kept encased
in our system. I played my bit part.
And when He took you,
and the stillness ignited—
life companions— we split like a stone.
Spilt colours from unborn summers,
when I thought that I knew you,
when the world seemed much wiser.

Double vision: the living room splits, and I see
something withheld, something wild —
I stand swaying, my tethers undone.
Oh, my selfish quiet, my proud silence.
For you, only now do words come
at your window, hidden in oils, I’ve run aground.

At your window—
it is not something— it is not reversible.
Selfish peace, undoing. So come back now;
hidden in oils, I’ve run aground.
At your window, hidden in oils, I’m full of life.
So come back now,

there are two homes now;
home for you, so come back,
come back,
for one last
take
