about

Our greatest mutual gift is that we never once agreed.

lyrics

on an open steamer trunk there is a photograph
you and your grandmother are smiling
against a sky of blue
and in this photograph one of your two front teeth
is darkened like a doorway
against a sky of blue

you are swallowed in your sheets
with just an arm protruding
and a foot baked orange
from years spent barefoot as a child

the smell of lemon in the hollow of your arm
foot baked orange from years spent barefoot as a child

i watched you wash your hair
i listened to the water in the sink
i ate a piece of toasted bread
i don't remember a single word we said that day
but i know our greatest mutual gift
is that we never once agreed
