Forthright
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.
Looking
In the hourglass
Ants
In the sand
Reflected
In the oil lamp
I can see the wrinkles
In your hand
You can be
forthright with me
You can be
Forthright with me
Next to
The pot-bellied stove
Hand
On the flue
Photograph
On the rolltop desk
Is
It of you?
You can be
Forthright with me
You can be
Forthright with me
Half a pound
Of hominy
Soaking
In a wooden bowl
Underneath
The cheesecloth
In
The safehold
You can be
Forthright with me
You can be
Forthright with me
