Lyrics
Seeing Daylight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
two cans clear chicken broth
two white onions
one bulb garlic
boil, boil.
boil, boil.
and the screams of delight from the pool outside
the splashing sounds
the coffee heating up on the stove
the sky outside. the color of pure fresh milk.
boil, boil.
boil, boil.
and the phone ringing, and me picking it up
and watching myself do so
in the quiet room
in the june evening and your voice on the other end
and the impossibility of your voice on the other end
and the impossible echo. inside.
boil, boil.
boil, boil.
