Beat originally entitled "Textbook".

lyrics

daedalion, i'm sorry for your daughter
i saw her pitch sunflower off of cliff
parnassus; hawk’s beard and bless you
resemblance is an unmanned rescue, adieu
liakoura perches on my veranda sympathetic
hypothetical she despondent in the morning
lute strings lackadaisical
as hummingbird wings
singing o’er frame vestigial
suicide notes:
tears doting drying on a singular tissue
tossed in wicker basket
razor in a rose thicket
dry summer pyre
valium expired underneath
mother’s teaspoon heirloom
tarnished
sorry father shouted
who gives a fuck about the varnish? i doubt he
will forgive himself
and if i do kill myself
it’s better for the writing, ironic…
from her notebook, reciting, she said to me:
“there will never be another until yesterday
i'm sure there were several,” and so
we placed a picture of her
next to the aged green rocking chair;
that one with mismatched legs
porch bound by the chrysanthemums and
hyacinth she detested… that she detested…
but wrote alongside, regardless
hyacinth she detested… that she detested…
but wrote alongside, regardless.

(there will never be another until yesterday
i'm sure there were several and so
we placed a picture of her by... )
