Rose Polenzani The Flood
I feel stiff in my knees
Danny, mind your momma
Run on upstairs and shut the windows
It's raining
Daddy, he'll be home any minute
You quiet your sister
Someday the wind is gonna shame that girl!
She will wail no more
Hush, boy, how many times?
Rock, these walls are, not feathers
Still this could be the weather
For sailing
Aim your blows at the river
Keep your crying a secret
She needs no one to call for her
Streets or children
When it hit, I don't know
Where my kids are
What part of this house
We could swim for it
But my sweet girl wants to open
Her mouth
And shout
And shout
And shout
Well. I don't know if if I survived
But Danny says I'm alive
And if feels nice to hear his voice
I feel spun like a feather
I am made of a piece of her
And Danny
And It feels nice
