lyrics

I am drowning wonderful in your descriptions
slurping the poignancy
noun lonely in a phrase
foreboding and all too fitting

Like finding a lover in an unknown city

we marinated our impression
with a certain disregard for ourselves
we ran out of rhyme
our phrases ellipses run off

Like leaving a city with an unknown lover

we smiled stubbornly, like we were born that way,
kicked the gravel beneath our (meandering) shoes
waxing water, waning breath
we knew this oblique beat by heart

Like finding a story in an unlikely feeling

I am humming to your words, body buzzing in your curves
forever there are letters
old books that smell like earthworms and dirt
freshly old and crumbling papers
yellowing words with yellowing teeth

like finding a lover in an unknown city
and then leaving
