There is nothing heavier / here today / gone today / who said highway and meant closing doors / said love equals two birds crossing pink into water / her hand was see through / but only dust sticks to such a thing / who said this would be east and not west / were you left with car parts too / danny's bloody shirt / the tracks where he sat till he was hit / who said cut in two / don't mention that / we are a happy family / we are in pieces but we know what each one is called / don't call / no answers / here today / gone under water green like sleep when the size of each is demonic / mothers' shrieking to stars in the backyard / outlive me, then / why not just say his name / today / danny / without all the blood / he is just one of ours / another one / not coming home / there's nothing heavier / gone / just gone today.

Can't I, though / name fifty states and each one filled with light / you don't get to cross the same field twice / that same feeling inside / one haunting is enough / there is always more / always a prize for your forgetting / here's how it really happened / went down, someone says / here's how it went down / down / two suicides / three accidents / a family album / blue / we played real good for our pain / now mother's mother is gone and she is holding on / just let go / I want to say you can let go / but instead I say; stay / haunting is who we are / how we travel / at the edge of night / shroud of / size of / and no sleep / say you love me / I know you meant it even though / all the evidence / the scars / say you're tired / you can let go / mother / you can just let go now.
