lyrics

they clamped their lips around a gnarled root (their tongues tasting sweet and sugar, up to eighty proof). in an orchard. out of season. in the winter, he read notes to her his pockets hid. sketch his thoughts on scrap, then fold them up, then tuck them in for the season. all with sound reason.

this is to remind you.

she'd expressed her discomfort over the jeweler's son - his jaw agape (the stale taste; the dripping drool and blood). it wasn't over. he became colder. he'd bite her shoulder.

he'd say, 'this is to remind you, you abstracted, old fool'.

his handsome hands which once pulled nail from foot and tooth from teeth, now only pawing at the thoughts he'd left just beneath the surface. he'd tip back his thermos and toss them in the furnace.

he'd say, 'that is to confound you, you blathering, old, sentimental fool!'
