lyrics

Jane Austen 
in the hospital 
Your handwriting on the legal 
pad was barely legible 
  
Waiting, I wonder if I 
could go all the way back 
would any of it still scare 
me for example the labrador 
down the street 
Mom carried me down 
from off the car 
Neighbor scolded I’d upset him 
every time he took off 
my thoughts got dark and menacing 
  
Go on Romeo, bark your head off 
My last terror of ignorance 
is still to come 
couldn’t quit it, you dumb dog 
chasing speeding cars 
I heard the engine  
and then you 
lay like a good boy 
on the hot summer tar 
  
That night, the awful relief  
Now, what  
are ya gonna do to me? 
First symptom of guilt  
then became 
a permanent shame 
  
And now I can get close 
enough, close enough  
to see you’re  
overgrown  
with a look of love 
  
I still dream of spiders  
crawling across my bed 
The present, I have no place in it. 
I still dream of being watched, but 
not by—well, I know your 
thoughts on the matter 
we don’t need to discuss it 
  
Around 3 am you will come to 
your roommate’s pissed his 
sheets right through 
years from now,  
you will build beautiful  
black flowers 
  
I came home and you directed 
with your hardened hand 
all of your birds who have 
come back to dine and rest 
in your garden again 
They’ve come to rest 
in your garden 
  
Now I can get close 
enough, close enough to 
see you’re overgrown 
with a look of love. 
  
Bark your head off, dog
