lyrics

She grew up one night (breasts and hips and hair).

She woke up and opened up the window.

She received the paper plane with closed eyes.

She unfolded paper and eyelids like mirrors.

She lit the lamps, candles, and fireplace with a single glance.

She read and her irises turned red as arteries.

She refolded the finished page into a rose.

She placed the paper in the vase and threw the vase in the flames.

She watched the glass melt into fire.

She stood and began to pack her bags.

She lay her largest suitcase open on the bed.

She slotted the next one snugly inside it.

She heaved the punching bag inside of that.

She fitted each of her bags inside bags inside.

She removed the bags from beneath her eyes and tipped the tears to the floor.

She put purses in pouches in backpacks.

She rolled her sleeping bag into a bag of its own.

She found a rip in the seam of a book bag and sewed it closed with a strand of hair.

She fit them together like a jigsaw puzzle.

She placed a key in the smallest bag and zipped them all shut.

She slipped into jeans and jacket and zipped them shut too.

She closed her eyes and lips so no one could follow her.

She tipped a candle on the table and walked out the door.
