Verse by @wilder.june

you can hear the whole town breathing at four am the dog still waits by the door at six the kettle screams and i let it the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath

we are all somebody else's weather we drank the cheap thing and called it a feast we sang until the neighbors forgave us the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath

you never asked and i never stopped answering every train sounds like leaving from here we were young and the light was cheap i am learning the names of ordinary things again

nothing holy ever asked for my name i traded my quiet for a louder kind of quiet the streetlamp buzzed like a held breath i keep the receipts of everything i felt

the cold got into the bones of the house the radio only plays the parts i remember you left your jacket on the chair like a promise the kettle screams and i let it

the bus came and i did not get on i keep apologizing to furniture
