she said
“Why don’t you try summertime songs?”
Gold and warm, soft like the setting sun
not hot and sharp like a hornet swarm or the
warning blast from a tornado horn
or june bugs hissing July in half,
“I love you in the low ebb baby, but let’s dance.”
“I don’t know.”
You didn’t have to stop babe but I could never hang
the good days come in waves: they crest and crash
See I’ve been running hot babe, somethings gonna give
I’ve been sleeping not babe, dreaming about the kid
I’ve been hearing shots babe I know they’re in my head
I’ve been feeling ghosts babe moving in the wind
and if I should disappear sometime before this child is born
well, what is recovery really but cover up your tracks again?
In the neighbor’s window across the street
you can see the tv through the fitted red sheet
and the other night I heard them screaming
I turned off our lights and called the police
and hid on the corner of the front porch waiting
and, as quiet as a gas leak, I slowed my breathing
singing summertime songs
