lyrics

My heart rate
Static
remaining the same since birth
This is in fact
the first time
That it has ever spiked

Because my digits have the elasticity to curl
My stilts taxie me on this earth
Because my ears have only heard my tune
My lungs yearn to breathe in sche

“Excuse me mother

but i have found the minnow amongst the sharks”
And she claps mechanically
“Congratulations”

I dream of you when i'm awake

Whose breast have we been monopolizing all this time
And was i the one to leave all these sores
This language we inherit
Do we truly understand it

Father
Mother
Nina
“Child,you've done so well!”
“Ahh, well i'll be going then”
No
This taste is foul

My hands cupped to fish you out
The digits repurposed to adore you

These shovels grown from me
Reached out to hurt you

This language i studied intensely for
Only gives me more ways to dissect you
Chipping away at your life

Well Darling
Before you push into my hand me down wound any further
Let me inflate your lungs one last time

This important but thoughtless act

Allowing us to live off of each other's recycled air
All our words
They melt into each other's saliva

Hey
Right now
Take one last deep breath and Vacuum out all the air in the world
“I love yous” have become unnecessary
After all we have become each other's oxygen tank
No need for muttering
Your last breath is also mine

about

Śēłf Hærm Boise, Idaho

In mothers womb you were asked, "do you believe in life after delivery"? And you said "nonsense, the womb is all I've know, Mother herself mostly likely does not exist" but you feel her, and sometimes when you listen really hard, you can hear her loving voice, calling down from above you. The umbilical cord supply's you with all that you need. All that you need.
