June Henry - Fish tank
You've been peering in at me
Showing off your accolades
Showing off your pretty teeth
I felt the sense of fuzziness
The sense I don't belong
The sense that everything I've done has been so bad and wrong
Feeling like a frantic kid
Who still fully believes fully in magic
Bookmarking, manifestation, checking spam, notification
When does the fog lift?
When does the trick end?
When do I stop feeling freakish
In a room full of my closest friends?
When does the noise stop?
When do my eyes close?
When does the shoe drop?
When do I get home?
Growing out my fingernails
Biting back my teeth
I rid myself of all awareness
Its all keratin to me
Remembering how warm I felt
Curled up next to him
And how I didn't hate myself
The way I told myself I did
When does the fog lift?
When does the trick end?
When do I stop feeling freakish
In a room full of my closest friends?
When does the noise stop?
When do my eyes close?
When does the shoe drop?
When do I get home?

June Henry - Snowglobe
{Verse 1} Never put the 'I' in 'Love you' I can't even stand to look Worry, but I try to love you Like snowglobes bought but never shook
June Henry - Garden
{Verse 1} The mulch pile exhaled heat While we sat on tree stumps Smoking Spirits spinning Tales of a rest over a civil unrest I loved you, vandal
June Henry - Right of way
I wanna tattoo that says Magic between my ribs It always feels like a miracle When I breathe in Was never fully suicidal Just aware that I'm so fragile Being
June Henry - Aerosol
My texts to you aren’t going though You’re probably somewhere beautiful I think you’d think about me too If I was the right beautiful Should I get stuck spiraling? Over
June Henry - Smoke
You dont even exist You’re just smoke In the shape of a boy You never really touched me It was a trick of the wind I never laid in your bed I was daydreaming in
June Henry - Moonsick
Rat me out Call the exterminator I need help I'm moonsick sick again Lunatic, neurotic pluck and pick Till i pass out at witching hour Can’t explain why it
June Henry - Hanged man reversed
I think you loved me like a picture Of yourself in the mirror Flattened reflection Only there to tell you youre better I think loved you like a daydream Maladaptive
June Henry - Bike thief
{Verse 1} When does person Become body? Is it instant? Not always You used every spice in the cabinet On a box of mac n' cheese It tasted too
June Henry - Forged in fire
{Verse 1} You were picking scabs off my scalp While we watched TV And, first time I went to your house And you just stared at me Pointed my pupils out
June Henry - Liquid
{Verse 1} I'm so fragile, hold me up Be the wire frame To my bitter, patty paste Paper mache I'm so pretty, look at me Like an abstract
