lyrics

When did you look at your hands and decide
they could no longer hold on?

The year you were born,
the comet Kohoutek
appeared in a dull, dark sky
spooking everyone into doomsday theory mode.
Did your parents make you in a moment of panic?
could you hear the apocalyptic pronouncements from the womb?
was it the airplane noises that startled you
as you began your initial descent into the world?
When did you look at your trembling hands
and realize you couldn’t stay here?
when did the interstellar communications begin?
Was it the comet’s vibrations?
Was it a thought you couldn’t grasp?
Was it something else entirely?
Something I failed to say?
How many other comets buzzed around you
while you cursed the heavens,
while you misplaced my love,
while you lost your inner war
and took off.
How many I didn’t see
how many, in your eyes?
