Joe

Joe was right. Get over myself, forget reason and time, just write
It fees alright
Stolen light: it illuminates the the dark you don’t wanna own
So just own your time
I remember when our dog used to bark at the mailman, and when our mother used
to whistle us home
I take from under covers all those clothes that I forget about and wash them
together with the ones that I don’t
Hold my eyes, and share with me that seeming glimpse of light
For it is there all of the time
Let’s compromise and find a common definition of what this is
Your veins in mine
The family’s getting older and I haven’t aged a bit. This heart,
it remains tattered and these eyes are sunken in. My sister’s settling down,
she just had her first kid. I’m drunk on my bedroom floor alone again
And I remember when our dog used to bark at the mailman, and when our mother
would whistle us home
I take from under covers all those clothes that I forget about
Wash 'em together with the ones that I don’t
And I don’t
