I've been coming down with memories
the whats and whys of what happened
leave me wilted in winter
burnt by the snow
dark mornings are bright
with the same stars that foretold
but went unread
I've been drawing up a make believe profile
a nose set in stone
smelling the perfume
only angels can breathe
the wood of my dresser cracks
everyday it is older
it held the clothes of my mother and hers
I've been sleeping in questions
unanswered by pillows or night
I wake before the sun
so I will never find a hero
a baby is my hero
my rescuer
my life sent forth
to fill in the holes in the sky
a star went out that night
Night, night Frost
Mama loves you
