Memories come back out of place -
pay attention to the background and then trace
the details while they still remain,
all those cracked and peeling window pains
and the faces that stare from the insides,
they watch the river weave and wind
like us they can't make up their minds
like us they can't make up their minds.
Take me to all your favourite places,
read to me from the best pages,
pause to breathe upon my neck,
the grass can grow around our heads.
I just wish everything could be easy,
I guess that's not very profound
but sometimes I just get bored of listening
and I get bored of making sounds.
But what I have learnt this year is that I don't want to die
.
No creature understands the other's grunts
and I know that I'm the only one
who thinks the way that I do
and you are the only one like you.
Can you balance a pea on every finger
and the two thumbs at either end?
That's what it feels like to make everyone happy
and I can only try to try my best.
I'm so sorry if I drop you,
I'm so sorry if you fall,
I do not know if I can help it,
I just do not know at all.
I can only offer all the comfort
your head can find upon my chest,
I just hope you tell me gently
when there isn't any left.
But what I have learnt this year is that I don't want to die.
Cut an orange into segments it looks like teeth,
you can pull them out.
I want to bite your lips,
I want you to bite my mouth.
We can hide like acorns
bury ourselves beneath the leaves,
we can plant ourselves in the mud
so long as we leave holes to breathe.
It’s 50% claustrophobic,
50% comforting,
I'm not really sure if I like it,
I'm not sure why I am screaming.
I like to feel weight on top of me,
I like to feel like I am floating.
I'd really like to dissolve
but I can't quite tell what in.
But what I have learnt this year is that I don't want to die.
