Lyrics
I wake up
Clear the stickiness from my eyes with a sharp knuckle
From the window
I see my body like crushed stars
I can just make out a drop of dew sliding down the glass
My mother weeping.
I pick at my age from a pile of clothes spread out on the floor
A cat moves like liquid looping between
My legs
Lap lap lapping at my feet drenched in milk
I beg for the ability to feel its soft fur graze against my bare skin
I bet it is a wonderful feeling
There is nothing between myself
And my flesh today
I am divided
Fractional
Partially dissolved
An approximation of girl
Now spread out somewhere in between
Her first summer as a woman
And her final summer as a girl.
