Marie from Bad Luck by Answering Machine

You fell in love when you were young
Cigarettes and Pom-ade
Daughter collecting recipe cards
And the polaroids that you would take

You never lied, you told it straight
Leaving notes in the linen closet

You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own

At first light, you took a breath
Slipped away in the morning
Broken voice, son in law
On the other end of telephone

You never lied, you told it straight
Spools of thread, color coded

You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
You’ve got seven ways to tell your story
Seven faces like your own
