lyrics

Do you remember the staircase? Of course you do
the crooked spine of my old house
the landing where I nearly kissed you
then later lied about
Do you remember the spiders that lived there?
Light sleepers in their private room
dreaming of plump moths and butterflies
and songs to spin along to
Songs about warm corners where the heat collects like wishes unspoken -
unnoticed and useless, unless stirred into some sort of action.
I love how it turned into an insect zoo
the way you intentionally let them in
and how those stairs seemed siblings to
your noisy and lopsided grin
Do you remember all the times that you barely kept from sending me down onto my ass?
when I like broken the rhythm of your heart and your footsteps with my misplaced laugh
like when you tripped on our quick descent, just like you said you wouldn’t
but the bannister caught you
when I couldn’t
