Woman
La Dispute
You living in living room
You want a Tuesday afternoon a breeze see when the curtains move
You by the wondow with both feet up on the couch
When you sit and you read and I watch you
From the office the sun light frmaes you silhouette
I think of lighting fireworks, I think of pirouettes
I write right donw observations on the scene
To the blue prints from the rooms along
Do you named them on their own?
Seeing in the coffe a scene
In my iffice thinking back to rules of poetry like
It's fourteen lines the last two rhyme but what this mean
You're ion living room
Let's bet at this forty fife degrees
I rather be there, be
Try to find you're rhyme scheme
I look of objects on the desk which sculptor run best
What I name this could I paint it
I remeber you so well watching you shifting your weight turning the page
I can see it all there
Inside of living room where only I live and never go on
And I pause hwre I am for a second when I hear your name
Sometimes I think I see your face in improbable places
So those moment replay for you
When I'm suddenlty there and I won't go away
When you sitting on the living roo, ready for the afternoon
Do you put you book down
Look and try to find me there
Sometime I think of all the people how lived here before us
How the spaces in memories you make change your room just to find a place where to live
When you leave here
When you go for a home
You take all that you own but the memories let go
..in the living room
From the carpet, the scratches bellow that we found
And that whit scame on the couch
We drunk and deciding we'd still try to move it around
And I can't tell what the difference is
Between the one that we made and the one that we didn't
But your imagine still
But you sit up and reading ...
I live alone now
I live alone now
