i sunk my eyes in static

you taught me how to see it

now there's no sign of you at hand

so i stop looking at it

my head is splitting trying

to read the name that you abandoned



congratulations sister

you put yourself right over

though you don't think i understand

this sudden awkward rupture

this stuck-unhealing fissure

no love could possibly withstand



and i'd never say

it doesn't mean that much to me

glad anyway

to see you struggle free



pinned down but unexamined

though you kept right on looking

at static there behind my eyes

keep pushing one-way vision

i guess at least it's something

since everything is so compromised
