If she closes her mouth
you forget that she said something
you forget that she had a mouth
And she closes her mouth
to protect all the words
she hides them in the tongue for a moment
She will travel somewhere
via Heathrow, London
where your fingers never reach
She has something in her hand
It looks vaguely like a rubber band
that she stretches
exactly however hard
exactly however hard
The day's light is pink in your eyes
in the rift over the pavement
early morning, five o'clock
everything around changes place
and blurs far away
you see someone you recognise
She will travel somewhere
with three cases in the taxi
you cannot force your legs to start walking
She has something in her hand
It looks vaguely like a rubber band
that she stretches
exactly however hard
She will travel somewhere
via Heathrow, London
where your fingers never reach
She has something in her hand
It looks vaguely like a rubber band
that she stretches
exactly however hard
