lyrics

I woke up with a leg,
My body was whole again.
I sat up in bed
And could talk to my friends.
They never came home in lonely boxes,
Template letters filled with names.
We visit, drink coffee,
And shit-talk our families.
I woke up with a leg.
My bones were whole again.
Two knees, two feet, two shins –
I could walk to take a piss.
The young man, grinning on my nightstand,
Didn’t mock me
With those shining, un-chipped teeth.
With those pores chafed and scrubbed
Of all the dirty hopes of new adults.
But I cannot stand.
And I can’t stand getting up.

And if I got myself up again
I’d only stumble back to bed.
And you’d wait until my eyes were thin
And you’d kiss the blood off of my head.
And I will never take you away,
Or sweep you off your feet.
And I would love to see you dance,
Even if it’s not with me.
