The United States Of Amnesia
A. Callier / G. ArnaertCollarbone, lily-livered digits point to your lashes
Fingertips, feeling fragile, drawing circles, eyes wide open
Faithful, painful, broken heart
Prick your ears, prepare to start
An elbow hits your rock bone hard
Confusing years confusing stars
I can’t recall your name in Amnesia
The United States of Amnesia
Righteous baby, lips unwilling, scar tissue, perfect etches
Vertebrae, pain, it’s killing, shoulder blades, your glass jaw
Lightweight, heart rate, back to start
Heels together, arms at the sides,
Hypertension, larger strides
Pulsing faster, out of the jar
