I woke up alone
And to tell you the truth,
I fell asleep that way too.
But then
The in-between.
I stood at my kitchen window
And I heard the distant voices
And forgot for a moment
The way you’d forget a kettle on the stove
But here I am now,
The whistling in my ears
Shrieking in a syncopated curse,
Alone again alone again alone again alone again alone again
