the new ones you don't mind the pain
you can't take care of her
they'll take her away
black ink mixed with salt
peppers down my eyes
wrap the pain in papper
mail it away
prickle my arm with pins
the blood goes round and round
trinkling down
turn the page
cahnge th echapter
write a new story
the piece is fresh and clean
like new folded linin
waiting to fall out of the basket and unravel
do you remember telling me
the time when you were 12
and woke up with blood all over the sheets
and your mother came in ans swept them away
isn't it funny?
a story of pain
ship it away
get on board
follow me no more
my hearts already in another country
that is clean in pure white blood
and over there,
somehow i'm sure
that they all know how to breathe.
a blood that has taught them how to breathe
