There was winter in the kitchen in the middle of July
Empty glasses on the counter, little lighthouses gone dry
You speak in broken lightning, turn the daylight into coal
Every syllable a splinter with a target on my soul
I learned to read your weather by the cracks in every door
Counting stones by all the names you'd said before
So you vanished in a mirror, made a rumor out of breath
Left a paper-blackened headline, staged a funeral in the wet
Years keep shuffling their shadows, and the house forgets your coat
I learned breathing without weather, learned a silence I can hold
You disappeared and kept on living where the living never goes
And we don't talk, we never talk, just two names the wind won't know
You planted only"no's" and watched them choke the window box
Salt on every simple thing till sweetness couldn't knock
Pills like little moons that never learn to wax or wane
Words like winter needles stitching snow into my name
I learned your kind of kindness was the quiet after blame
How a door can look like open while it's bolted just the same
So you vanished in a mirror, made a rumor out of breath
Left a paper-blackened headline, staged a funeral in the wet
Years keep shuffling their shadows, and the house forgets your coat
I learned breathing without weather, learned a silence I can hold
You disappeared and kept on living where the living never goes
And we don't talk, we never talk, just two names the wind won't know
We folded up an evening, wrote your name in running ink
Lit a match to empty air and watched the candles never think
If you're somewhere on a shoreline, you're a lighthouse turned to stone
All that warning pointing inward, all that light you never owned
So you vanished in a mirror, made a rumor out of breath
Left a paper-blackened headline, staged a funeral in the wet
Years keep shuffling their shadows, and the house forgets your coat
I learned breathing without weather, learned a silence I can hold
You disappeared and kept on living where the living never goes
And we don't talk, we never talk, just two names the wind won't know
It's been years since the thunder, only radio snow
If you ever hear me calling, it's the quiet letting go
