Permanence

from Silver Backed Bream by Robh Hokum

/

lyrics

I’m salty
I’m malting
Strip the mould
Away from me
Lift me up
From the earth
Thaw the frost
For my re-birth

We should photograph
All of this
Our changing skins
Our dying cells
The cancers that took our lives
The motorways, unfaithful wives
They all came together
For the frame

Exhaled smoke
The deals we broke
Unfinished poems
That we wrote
Unused paint
And lighter fuel
Wallpaper
But no walls
It all came together
For the frame

We should document
All our crimes
The losses made
The fruit decayed
The threats we faced
From the sick
The promise that
He’d knife your neck
They all came together
For the frame

Holes in your shoes
Ladders in your tights
The dents in your tins
The lust in your nights
Tea bags split
The lump in your tit
The hate and despair
That you hid from him
They all came together
For the frame
All just to show
We are the same
