about

Based on a poem “Date Prep” that was first published in Room Magazine roommagazine.com/issues/our-rubble-our-loss

lyrics

My bathtub finally clean
I climbed into the murky water
I sluiced my arms in the watercolours
Of Hurricane Matthew with my daughter
The two of us lost far out to sea
His October visit a daring to anyone
Who dared brave the storm so quickly
After she watched me cough up a lung

What did my daughter know
about me?
How could I tell her so
Honestly?

She saw real grass growing
From the drain between sighs
Of the stream of water, the pump
Waking up to my cries
The copper claws of the tub feet
Became a cow’s tasty head
The train becoming my mouth
Sipping foot soup to feel

What did my daughter know
About me?
How could I tell her so
Honestly?
