Trust

Dim the lights and draw the curtains

This is the end of love

Ready all your arguments

This is the end of trust

Send out all the witnesses

Let nobody watch

Let there be no more words spilled at the ending of what

Was it time we had?

Bring me all the evidence

The baskets of wild roses

The crumpled petals and misshapen heads

Of reeds and rushes

The bodies of the common birds

Robins, crows, and thrushes

Everything that I have loved

And all the light touches while we still have time

I watch your eyes pass over me

Holding stupidly

Everything I wanted you to see

In the throes of this divorce

In this court proceedings

For some reason, my mind was filled

With all my softest feeling

All the hidden, wounded, gentle places of my body

I wanted to bare my skin to the grass

In generosity, while we still have time

Well, everybody's talking

And I know it's important

And I should pay attention

And I know it's important

And I

Dim the lights and draw the curtains

This is the end of love

Ready all your arguments

This is the end of trust

Send out all the witnesses

Nobody watch

Let there be no more words spilled at the ending of what
