THE MEMORY OF A MIRROR

Everyone you love is around,
all in one room, joy coming down.
And my watch is broke.
Ideals I can't reach.
Names butcher in the mouth of this town.
All these resentments.
All these resentments I can't pronounce.

With my pale blue eyes,
like the sun growing up the sky,
red to sandpaper white,
noble as a rose,
noble as a rose when it dies,
drooling wisdom, drooling light.

Let's drink a round for tomorrow.
Let's drink a round for today.
Let's drink a round from the waist up,
for the masks I wear under my face.

Everyone you love is around.
Wind races wind around the house.
My watch is broke.
Get a wet washcloth.
Death comes, but he might pull out.

Let's drink a round for tomorrow.
Let's drink a round for today.
Let's drink a round from the waist up,
for the masks I wear under my face.
