right now

  you’re kinda far away

but if my hand          reaches out

           then you’re gone

i’ve gnawed, i’ve got my edges frayed

   and in the end you’re still

      more ragged and more home

ribs locked, hearts sing

more people, more things

         all bluff, no ring

         all bluff, no ring

 

today, i want to hear from you,

not the telephone,

            but those eyes

they break through.

           for bones are never here for me

I’ve gone limp

      you fold me up, a cardboard box

  ribs locked, hearts sing

more people, more things

hold me small like a tangerine

      all bluff, no ring

      all bluff, no ring

above everything,

but you
