Patti Smith - Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect. A Decemberists cover, which, holy shit sounds better without Colin Meloy’s whine.

We were driving to your funeral
& our father was not crying
because he has a way
of tying ribbons around grief.
It was the year we learned
the piercing that prefaces the blood
holds the most delicate of darknesses.
Then it was the year we opened
all our faucets & waited for the sea
to bleed to death. Then it was the year
we set fire to your mitt. Then, suddenly
the year we started to believe
every thorn was just a bridge.
Then the year all we talked about
was boxing. Then the year
my stomach hurt all year, & then
the year no one spoke of you.
If there were an antonym for suicide
we could all choose when to be born.
I would have been born after that day
so I could not remember you.
So my fingers would stop pointing
at all the things that aren’t there.

1.
introduce yourself and say excuse me ma’am/sir,
did you fall from the sky?
no, why do you ask?
because the same thing happened to my friend,
Lucifer.
2.
take her/him by the hand. make sure to interlock fingers with her, keeping one hand free. say you will never leave her/his side. moments after, you may uncross the fingers on your free hand.
3.
slide your fingers across the nape of her neck, gentlemen. feel the spine.
know that it is yours.
4.
bring your lips to her neck. do not kiss. whisper a promise into her neck. keep a straight face.
5.
true ladies, rest your hand to the center of his chest. search for a heartbeat. disguise the look of horror that comes over you.
6.
kiss his mouth, ladies. let the tongue glide along his teeth, signaling his tongue to meet yours. feel the shape of his canines. know that yours are greater.
7.
let her kiss fill your ear, fellas. ignore the echoes and gnashing of teeth that whisper your little secret. they know your secrets, gents.
go pussycat. you can’t overdo it. you can’t undo it.
