Lakewater Lyrics
I couldn't get in
she just had no language for it
For the blue-grey lament that washed inside her
She said even at birth she had recognized no one
That her body had felt like a capsule awaiting
a fuller world to dehisce
At our creaky house by the lake I lived with her for months
She would watch the still water flow like stained glass
for hours before
slipping in.
A fuller world to dehisce.
She wanted to go slower.
One morning she drowned
To fill her veins with lake water
Organisms and soft flecks of deadwood
suspended together
under everything.
A fuller world to dehisce.
She wanted to go slower.
she just had no language for it
For the blue-grey lament that washed inside her
She said even at birth she had recognized no one
That her body had felt like a capsule awaiting
a fuller world to dehisce
She would watch the still water flow like stained glass
for hours before
slipping in.
She wanted to go slower.
To fill her veins with lake water
Organisms and soft flecks of deadwood
suspended together
under everything.
She wanted to go slower.
