lyrics

I silently tip-toe
away from the platform.
You’ve invented the clouds,
drawn up the sky’s blueprints…

Tight-roping my own flat line
I try not looking down
at the nurse bending over
to pull the plug—
she cuts my second umbilical
patch cord…

What continents surround
has a wet shadow…

…the horizon whose smoke stacks are
animated sculptures of ours lungs
where we’d use lit cigarettes for snorkels…
