Karate Water
Gloves hold you in,
accessorize
Corners of sin
and potential crimes
The colds scolds your chin,
draws some salt from an eye
But even the wind
can't get much of a rise
How long will it take you
to want to go home?
How long will it take you
to learn there is none?
You were a sister,
a daughter,
just what was your role
In that family now scored
with stitches and holes?
with stitches and holes?
with stitches and holes?
--
You got somewhere to be,
so you can't get lost
And you're filled with a substance
that melts any frost
I want to take you to dinner,
but you'de rather hang out at rest stops
Engaging in discourse
better stratched into desk tops
Your phone rings
It's just me
How long will it take you
to trust me?
to trust me?
I'm coming down to get
you even know you don't answer
Because the snow was OK,
but the rain is coming faster
but the rain is coming faster
but the rain is coming faster
Water
sinks in
Faster,
then thickens
My pockets, my pockets are drinking
Your fingers, my fingers are sinking
--
Water
sinks in
Faster,
then thickens
My pockets, my pockets are drinking
Your fingers, my fingers are sinking
Water
sinks in
Faster,
then thickens
My pockets, my pockets are drinking
Your fingers, my fingers are sinking
sinking
