Hannah & Maggie Muscle & Bone
If I sing right here
Only waves and fireflies to hear
Will it bring me back?
I am lighter than mist
Helium in a red balloon in a toddler's fist
Lighter than empty words
Stop signs and grocery lines, I'm waiting
Waiting to feel home
Bedtimes and simple rhymes, I'm sated
Just to be muscle and bone
If I lie around
Only birds in the absence of sound
Will it bring me back?
I am heavy spring rain
Earthbound, but I hit the ground and evaporate
Smells like life again
Stop signs and grocery lines, I'm waiting
Waiting to feel home
Bedtime and simple rhymes, I'm sated
Just to be muscle and bone
