lyrics

(For Sara Bilezekian, 1978 - 2002)
May all bridges be burned, so there's to tumble from and nothing to tempt us when we cross with despairing hearts. May all rivers be damned, so there's a dry bed on which to lay, and no current to sweep broken hearts away. No current like the present, which is empty, inhabited by shadows etched in dust and burned to the meat on the back of my hand. This screen is to the past, projected in front of me, playing everything I'd like to edit, to try again, to whisper in my own ear "Every chance can be your last." This is "How to Light a New York City Stove" with care and precision, to scorch frozen hands, and flicker ephemeral, across faces smeared with non-linear American dirt. May love obsess you while death surrounds you.
