anna smyrk - benjamin lyrics

Loading...

benjamin tells me
the boat for the mainland
comes at five, or at six
or seven
or sometimes at eight
he says, “wait

and you’ll see when it comes.”
the light starts to fade
and he switched the generator on

benjamin’s island is just two k’s around
circled with mangroves
and water like slow liquid glass
in the past

his great+grandmother swum
these very same waters
and so will his children to come

it comes
comes when it comes

benjamin tеlls me
the name of thе island
means a break from the wind
a place to take shelter at sea
as for me
it’s a port of safe call
i’m halfway across
and i’m scared i won’t make it to shore

it comes
comes when it comes
