Embedded Files
I read the names engraved but never spoke ‘em
I spent all day just wondering who they’d be
Maybe only Easter-see-you children
Maybe summer long day friends for me
Acid-dripping resin lines the darkroom
Other people’s faces, most for pay
Dodging eight on Kodak from New Jersey
These shots wash out pangs a different shade
Red glow
Hang alone
Red glow
Strange to know the truth
Losing things like car keys on a show day
Or sleeping late through infomercial night
Little moments colored by depression
Little joy, the blinds drawn on
Zoning out of frame, the sharp shatter glass
Sorry lowdown nothing from the past
What did you feel?
Did you feel?
Questions I can’t ask and aren’t real
Family pain we buried
By the fence
Red glow
Hang there alone
Red glow
Feels like I know you
Red glow
Hang there alone
Red glow
Feels like I know you
