lyrics

Twice now I’ve opened my front door
and looked down
a snakeskin, there.
Where is it, why does it let what’s gone go for the record?
Wish I could shed a skin to show you
to show you how I grew--
Here it is, paper thin: the creature that you knew.
Four in the morning, the crabapples glow
in their dropping-down shine off the moon
I’d woken from dreaming I’d slipped from a noose
to the floor, started to run.
Wish I could shed a skin to show you
to show you how I grew--
Here it is, paper thin: the creature that you knew.
No longer flung, I have climbed rung by rung
to arrive here, home.
Poppyseed cake batter, memory of years ago, Paris
and memories to come--
Wish I could shed a skin to show you
to show you how I grew--
Here it is, paper thin: the creature that you knew.
