These are the last weeks
& this pain in my knees keeps on rattling
like the cattle mourn their dead,
like the unfaithful mourn their newlywed
You are my last keep
It was something I couldn't see, it's all so maddening
like the last one rolled his head
& took all that we have left
What are the last words
that you will ever speak? Will they matter
when the sky is just the same?
Stays suspended on that rigid frame
Just like your altar
Your body is a torn piece of fabric,
dirty from the use of shame
Many men have worn it many ways
& like the wristwatch that you left for me that day
I'll be lost on the side of the highway
to be run over like an animal, some stray
I will not remember you by name
Oh, how the days burned
when your father hung his teeth; they kept on chattering
like an earthquake left my name
inside of her mother's grave
Oh, how the feeling
hurt like a lightning strike's shadow
on a corpse that month of May
I can't believe it's been so many days
& just like the times you let me feel that way
I will not be able to explain
how I turned over, how I let you get away
I will not remember your good grace
& like the wristwatch that you left for me that day
I'll be lost on the side of the highway
to be run over like an animal someday
I will not remember you by name
Erudite chamber pop that hearkens back to the elegant and experimental production of the 1960s, swinging from melancholia to playfulness. Bandcamp New & Notable May 13, 2016
