lyrics

will I shimmer
like a cello found
the hairs
wound to almost breaking
could devolve into a music?

love commands us
to be human

skin is only skin
a word in any language
is just a word

if I shimmer
like a cello knows
the creak and groan
of a long forgotten bough

how can I
return from this

comb my hair
and slide my arms
back there into
my coat?


What a tiny drum is love
A skin so worn and yet

Just when you think
The rhythm's lost

It calls you up
To know
That you are breathing
