When the Curious Girl Realizes She Is Under Glass

Tomorrow when I wake up, Im finding my brother
And making him take me back down to the water
That lake where we sailed, and we laughed with our father
I will not desert him, I will not desert himNo matter, how I may wish for a coffin so clean
Or these trees to undress all their leaves onto me
I put my face in the dirt and then finally I'll see
The sky that has been avoiding meI started this letter, Im going to send it to Ruba
It'll be blessed by her eyes, on the gulf coast of Florida
With her feet in the sand and one hand on her swimsuit
She'll recite the prayer of my penSaying, "Time take us forward, relief from this longing
They can land that plane on my heart, I dont care
Just give me November, the warmth of a whisper
In the freezing darkness of my room"
