She shot and missed Failing score, her bathroom mirror Sidewalk utility legend A map of what's within her Her bones set slow enough for breath to catch her To cinch her and make her Swim in the well she'd covered The piss she shook off her kicking legs to the floor And the day breaks blurred Like a fumbled glass of water Noise, then nothing at all Albatross eyes Hang the world before her A phantom limb What made you hide your pictures Was it the shame or was it The knifepoint look of sorrow carved on your face What made you hide your pictures Was it the shame, or was it The relatives who never looked your way Staring through you into me And the day breaks blurred Like a fumbled glass of water Noise, then nothing at all Albatross eyes Hang the world before her A phantom limb When James left Stubbed his cigarette Over the door, mark of the firstborn When James left The dust of so many notes The river you cannot ford The uncut cord of the breech-birth The uncut cord of the breech-birth
