I walked around the corner
where the light in my room shone...

Sins my wrist
and fierce...

Wherever Grandfather went
we saw he was already gone...

My girl, he says, later
you're a love song...

She whispers his name
doesn't matter, he can't hear it...

Be my altar, he whispers
i supplicate...

I live on a strip of land
sometimes it feels like Vegas...

I walk the only road i know
with a face molded in concern...

Reclining from the desk
I begin to imagine...

I never liked to watch
Those who are in love...

You seem so harmless
you lie so quiet...

You used to shimmy
and show how much you loved...
