THE HANGWOMAN


i remind her of someone she used to know

according to her he looked just like me

our hair like trampled grass 

around our face like forest pathways

three of us

two in the present

one in passing


what happened to him, will it happen to me?

what happened to him, will it happen to me?

what happened to him, will it happen to me?


i remind her of someone she used to know

according to her he looked just like me

our voice like heavy hands

pull off the shoes of our tired madam

three of us

two jealous eves

one lonesome adam


what happened to him, will it happen to me?

the hangwoman doesn't speak

she has no answers and no questions

crying slithering on her cheeks 


i remind her of someone she used to know

according to her he looked just like me

seperate siamese

uniting only in her dreams

the three of us

two see above

one cannot see


what happened to him, will it happen to me?

what happened to him, will it happen to me?

what happened to him, will it happen to me?

the hangwoman doesn't speak


i remind her of someone she used to know

i remind her of someone she used to know
