Title:In a play


In a play where the actors die
you told me you were thinking of
the clothes - line in the attic

in a play when the shirts are dry
you showed him the vaccination mark
in your upper arm

I will try to frame your face
I will try to speak your name
das mädchen im pelz
the elevator's gone

in a plane where the stewards charm
you told me you were falling
out of the highest tree in the world

in a plane flying to Helsinki
somewhere in a forest
a tree is falling down

I will try to frame your face
I will try to speak your name
das mädchen im pelz
the elevator's gone

in a play where the actors die
you told me you were thinking of
a bathroom with dripping blouses
