lyrics

Again I found it possible, possible to read.
Capturing nothing that was not a fleeting mist.
But when I turned around my heart skipped,
when I heard the voices of ancestors eating.
The greedy clank of teeth, forks going at a clip.
Endangering my peace by connecting me with this.
I was forced to hear the dribbling of gravy down their cheeks,
and I couldn’t concentrate.

I was not much insulted by regurgitative acts,
but that they’d agreed upon impatience, long after the axe.
As backward as I am, both myself and their spawn,
I made an effort to forgive them by dining till dawn,
but then I turned around and they were gone.
