Daughters Now, Motherly

from Monk on the Run EP [2011] by Todd Portnowitz

/

lyrics

Sing for me, quietly
let no one hear you outside of me
talk about nothing but short-term memory.

Fold yours hands, rest your feet,
melt all that brass and battery,
this calls for nothing less than the wind’s flattery.

No flash photography
Find us the darkest room you’ve ever seen
Make it so the nearest light is light years away from me.

Daughters now, motherly
come down and put your arms under me
lift me up slow so the whole world has to see.

Prattle and coddle me,
humming that bottomless melody
the one where my effort gets an E for eternity.
