i draw a line in my life
singing this is the new way i behave now
& actually live by the shape of that sound
circle in the back of my throat
spinning in my head & on my pillow
telling you things you don’t need to know
letting you know i trust you so much
then i'm looking at you you through the lights
a circle blinking in the tungsten
wondering how i seem to you
forgetting the words i’m singing for you
am i forgetting how it felt?
you were sleeping with your rings on
cardinal wings in the early morning
waking up to a metaphor forming
i draw a line in my skin
i’m pinning down inchoate meaning
mark me right below the ampersand
perforate line dry summer on my own land
then it circulates around town
do i double down because i’m stubborn?
the needle on the phonographic sound
you’re digging it up as soon as it’s drawn down
am i forgetting how it felt?
if you sing along do i remember?
mark this feeling in the simplest shape
let me finally let it fall away
