Miraculous Myrrh-streaming Icon of the Mother of God I started crying At the dinner table Like that Orthodox icon Shedding tears of myrrh Found in a bargain bin in Toronto sold For twenty dollars to the lowest bidder "It's like God left the window open And she continues to pour out her grace" My grace falls onto my plate and Salts my food: sprinkling heaven on earth I started crying At the dinner table Because I can't stand the sight of my own dirty laundry Strewn about my childhood bedroom, this house, this town I walk everyday, an hour or so, around my neighborhood I pass piles of it I pass the basement I lost my virginity in I pass the park where I tarred my lungs smoking dimly lit cigarettes I sit on a bench where I threw my guts up After a fifth of vodka from a plastic bottle I can't stand the stench of myself any longer The ceiling stars Used to glow in the dark So I wasn't so afraid of the monsters under the bed Now they just live in my head I miss my mom tucking me in The things I'd do to have that again She'd never miss a corner Always made sure I felt warmer Well mom, all I feel now is older and cold Now my legs hang over the frame of the bed And I hardly recognize my own face The books that I never read Still perched on their deathbed And their demons still call me by name All my best inventions On the shelf with the best of intentions Isn't it a trick The lights do so much as flicker And the apple juice melts into liquor I miss my childhood friendships I don't remember the reasons they ended I was young and selfish Always one to embellish The truth's prettier without blemish Tenfold Now my legs hang over the frame of the bed And I hardly recognize my own face (ah) The books that I never read Still perched on their deathbed While their demons still call me by name While their demons still call me by name While their demons still call me by name While their demons still call me by name
