about

Outtake from Avalanche Kiss.

lyrics

So sew it up and note the time. The loose ends meet, the couplets rhyme. A stack of applications on your nightstand. Not exactly as you planned.

I know that look upon your face, the mirror in your eye. I know you lie awake at night and feel his breath on you and wonder why.

You wake up to the news at noon. Or you wake up to the afternoon chat shows. The degree hangs on the wall of the apartment that’s to small to hold the couch you hauled all the way from Pittsburgh and then left on the curb.

Now your friends don’t bother calling you. That moment they would have to talk to him to get to you is more, so much more than they can stand.
You wake up to the news at noon. Or you wake up to the afternoon chat shows. You brother said he’d visit you. Your cousin said she meant to. You’re hoping they will do the work and you can just smile and play along.
