born october 4, 1998 – the bowery lyrics
i pin an elbow to the sheet
where beneath, the bowery
take it with you indiscreet
and fade to transparency
when the challenge of the everyday
costs more than it amounts to
it’s the writer of the paper morning
betting on the house
for the children of the classroom sing
“i miss emily”
they point out at the tv screen
“where’d she go?”
flip it forward, news report, police are on the scene
it reads
“another wolf gone east”
to the harbor, ocean came
in a bar we’d do the same
penny thoughts you did refrain
still ended up with spare change
so the storied halls of your apartment
are filled to brim with waste
it’s the final stop in the departure
from the kingdom you misplaced
for copper nails in aspen, hammered
a proper coffin
and all of those she ever met have
not forgot
a line of cars lays the matriarch to rest out in the trees
marie
say something please
from your mouth to your wrists
waist pulled, neck shoulder bit
held your heart to the words of grandfather
a soldier who told you to keep head straight
and don’t drag your feet
hurry, slowly now, faster, don’t make a sound
for they catch to keep
