Glimpse from Geneviève by Red Apple Falls

I woke up last evening
about the usual time
thinking that I’d heard your voice
but of course that can’t be right

Got up from my empty bed
and crossed the empty floor
walked along the empty hall
to your bedroom door

And I thought perhaps
I’d lay there for a while
strange
how these years became my life

Became my life

All I wanted was to sing
the saddest song there’d ever been
for you
like it made a difference

I picture you about sixteen
getting stoned and listening
to this
cross-legged in your bedroom

This is all your father
really left you
stumbling through his clumsy chords
making noise in his life
and yours
