Sixteen songs have passed And sixteen separate landscapes to wipe your hands with And as I dream at night do I consider it That a part of this doing is my half Sixteen songs later Sixteen quiet throats, yet I keep my mouth shut And I shamelessly enjoy the gifts you give me When we go to bed before I dream Our love is in latin, it won’t last Sixteen exhilarating chases, games, ever-expanding radii Like irises on a road map, we flower through the countryside We are an aneurism, we yell at walls, and we laugh Sixteen family tree autographs Sixteen sad songs, suicides, sixteen songs you keep on tape Their last words bent into screams like pictures on TV My dreams have become my trial Seventeen’s my last

Sixteen Songs
Sixteen songs have passed And sixteen separate landscapes to wipe your hands with And as I dream at night do I consider it That a part of this doing is my half Sixteen songs later Sixteen quiet throats, yet I keep my mouth shut And I shamelessly enjoy the gifts you give me When we go to bed before I dream Our love is in latin, it won’t last Sixteen exhilarating chases, games, ever-expanding radii Like irises on a road map, we flower through the countryside We are an aneurism, we yell at walls, and we laugh Sixteen family tree autographs Sixteen sad songs, suicides, sixteen songs you keep on tape Their last words bent into screams like pictures on TV My dreams have become my trial Seventeen’s my last
