Real Death - Mount Eerie[00:00:00]
Death is real[00:00:01]
Someone's there and then they're not[00:00:04]
And it's not for singing about[00:00:07]
It's not for making into art[00:00:10]
When real death enters the house all poetry is dumb[00:00:14]
When I[00:00:20]
Walk in[00:00:22]
Into the room where you were[00:00:26]
And look[00:00:33]
Into the emptiness instead[00:00:36]
All fails[00:00:45]
My knees fail[00:00:52]
My brain fails[00:00:58]
Words fail[00:01:04]
Crusted with tears catatonic and raw[00:01:11]
I go downstairs and outside and you still get mail[00:01:14]
A week after you died[00:01:23]
A package with your name on it came[00:01:26]
And inside was a gift for our daughter[00:01:29]
You had ordered in secret[00:01:32]
And collapsed there on the front steps I wailed[00:01:33]
A backpack for when she goes to school[00:01:42]
A couple years from now[00:01:45]
You were thinking ahead to a future[00:01:47]
You must have known deep down would not include you[00:01:50]
Though you clawed at the cliff you were sliding down[00:01:53]
Being swallowed into a silence that is bottomless and real[00:01:57]
It's dumb[00:02:07]
And I don't want to learn anything from this[00:02:10]
I love you[00:02:14]
