4.The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows
We saw the western coast. I saw the hospital. Nurse the
shoreline like a wound. We paint a lover's tryst. We're neither
clear nor descript. We kept it safe and slow. The quiet things
that no one ever knows. Keep the blood in your head and keep
your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets tired. Today's
the day we drop down. Give up my body in bed. All for an empty
hotel. Wasting words on lowercases and capitals. I contemplate
the day we wed. Your friends are boring me to death. Your veil
is ruined in the rain. By then you like to do without. There's
nothing new to talk about. And though our kids are blessed, the
parents let them shoulder all the blame. Keep the blood in your
head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it gets
tired. Today's the day we drop down. Give up my body in bed. All
for an empty hotel. Wasting words on lowercases and capitals. I
lie for only you. And I lie well. Halleluh. Keep the blood in
your head and keep your feet on the ground. Today's the day it
gets tired. Today's
the day we drop down. Give up my body in bed. All for an empty
hotel. Wasting words on lowercases and capitals.
