The third floor
At the Henry Ford
Hospice Rooms
Oxygen chords
I never thought I'd love you more
Than I did when I was young
The words get stuck behind my tongue
I scream and yell
Can't make a sound
Your hospital gown
A bright green dress
The oxygen
Your necklace
You've got your father's bark
Your mother's bite
Is she coming to the show tonight?
You've got your mother's smile
From cheek to cheek
Half bent smirk
When you're feeling weak
A quick remark
When you're done wrong
Her fascination
For the sad songs
You make
