Forgot

I forgot to look into the water

Dripping down from the ceiling

Making rivers on the counter

Of the sink

Now brush your teeth and eat some meat

And get a bone

And get real small

And crawl right in

And take a good good look around

You are dripping from the ceiling

And making a big mess

Oh how could I forget

That good things come in colors and lovers

And darkness among us

My words are made of dust

You know that my heart aches

For a moment away from

This shame in the day under

The bridge where I stay

I count with my fingers

And you let yourself linger

In the emptiness I'm her

In the silence I greet her

You are dripping from the ceiling

And making a big mess

Oh how could I forget

That good things come in colors and lovers

And darkness among us

My words are made of dust

You know that my heart aches

For a moment away from

This shame in the day under

The bridge where I stay

I count with my fingers

And you let yourself linger

In the emptiness I'm her

In the silence I greet her
