lyrics

window open, below weather, knee deep snow banks. the ice & frost melts & breaks into shapes of states & north eastern maps. the inland sea starts to recede & deposits me deep under shale. maritime provinces drawn on my honest skin with birthmarks & dotted towns. ideas sewn into hair by a couple of close friends. the arctic circle escape explained through collect calls from a brooklyn phone. I sing to the cold & it shows me my breath & the slowest highway home.
I'm trying not to explain, between song lyrics, mannerisms or the same name: connections with a face I'll never see. like the two drunkest people in the room slow dancing to the jangle of their keys... it won't be remembered.
