you tie me to this existence / my sister’s eyelashes still fall /
and we still make wishes / we should never have to make /
my brothers’ hair is on the barbershop floor /
i never get to see it swept away / the proof of my living is always gone /
before i can touch it / let me reach out /
let me feel the grooves of your face / when you look at me /
save me / for a time when you’ll (have to) remember /
trace my outline in the mirror / hold the indent of my laughter
