LYRICS
I woke up panicked...
Short a ghost
Water running in the bathroom sink
I listed sideways from my bed
And threw my body down the hall
Forearm to ledge I braced
And smeared the steam to find my face
Imagine my confusion and my horror
As my body said to me as if to another
“Baby I’m not
Baby I’m not a werewolf
But I don’t know about you...”
But our words
Shared a carnivore sound
Like we cut our meat with the side of our mouths
Our words
Bent like knives
Yet I remember nothing but horizon..
I remember nothing but horizon...
I ate miles and miles of the horizon
Limping home through a stubbled field
Missing half of my left hand
Door ajar—abandoned car
I bandaged it with a potato chip bag
My thoughts drained out
Though a ruby red sluice
I could not read them
Now here before the mirror
With the steam cleared away
I see my flanks raw, bedazzled
In a spray of rock salt haste
Indescribable filth under my fingernails remaining…
I ate every story, I ate every myth
And when I finished with the minotaur
I ate the Labyrinth
So if I’m not
What have I done!?
“You dream too hard,” says my reflection
But...
Baby, I’m not…
