Widows - Mount Eerie/Julie Doiron.mp3
[00:02.88] It's almost Mo...
[00:02.88] It's almost Mother's Day
[00:06.82] Me and the other widows will commiserate
[00:12.88] Alone at Montessori again
[00:20.58] Straddling two worlds
[00:24.39] Between the crush of single parenting
[00:30.85] And the need for wailing in the woods
[00:34.13] Around a slash pile burning
[00:37.40] Into the night with tear crusted eyes
[00:42.86]
[00:47.18] I know I'm overcompensating
[00:53.02] In this PTSD disorientation
[00:58.86] From my brief time in the rich part of the city
[01:04.28] Now my hands stink like salmon skin
[01:07.85] Left out in the rain in the ash
[01:10.14] Of the fire from last night
[01:12.56] I haven't bathed in a while
[01:15.16] And no one's near me
[01:16.54]
[01:16.76] If there's significance in where you live
[01:21.58] Let it all go and follow love and intuition
[01:26.04] Today the tabloids told the world you separated me
[01:30.35] And see what's there
[01:32.13] My phone began dinging more than usual
[01:35.59] In the open sky
[01:37.14] It was just like the day they found out that we'd gotten married
[01:41.11] Because we're all gonna die
[01:43.46] Unwanted attention
[01:46.29] From an inhumane delirious absurd other world that keeps trying to eat you
[01:53.55]
[01:56.76] I woke up quivering, raw, and heartbroken again
[02:04.41] Took my daughter to the garbage dump
[02:07.80] And rifled through the free pile
[02:10.48] And stood next to the pit
[02:14.19] The crows and ravens circling spoke to us
[02:19.66] And we spoke back to them
[02:26.74] But nothing is real
[02:29.30] Except this one thing
[02:32.47]
[02:36.64] Please remember at the bookstore in the poetry corner upstairs
[02:48.59] I slept with my head on your lap
