about

the spoken words in this song are taken from the story "loving dora" by lidia yuknavitch. it appears in the collection of her short stories titled "her other mouths". used with the gracious permission of the author.

lyrics

jessie's got her black spoon; the river in her mind is dry. if you asked she wouldn't tell the truth. she thinks she understands the sky. her dress is sewn from eggshells. her hands are holding up the sun. she hears the ringing of the bells and breathes the sound into her lungs.

she breathes the sound into her lungs. she sees the meaning in the marchers drums. she feels the earth as it comes undone. she touches love to become numb.

jessie's got her razorblade; she cuts a dark spot from the earth. she puts it in her blue suitcase, discovering what a fool is worth. she tastes the acrid flowers there and drives the thorn into her thumbs. her blood turns red as it hits the air. she smells the iron from her smoking gun.

she smells the iron from her smoking gun. she sees the meaning in the marchers drums. she feels the earth as it comes undone. she touches love to become numb.

she's crossing the sun.
