about

“Cigarette Girl” by Eileen Myles
From Sorry, Tree, published by Wave Books, Seattle (2007)

lyrics

A long raindrop, more of a tear
Fell from an awning or a nail
Shit the top of a roof and hit my neck
Inside my coat

I don’t know how it got in so perfectly
And struck my flesh, my warm neck
On a rainy night in winter I almost
Said this to you

She wanting to move on
She wanting to move on

If I spoke another language
I’d break into it now
There’s nothing lonelier than a lonely American
My limits contract and expand

I grab the white handle of my speech
Like it’s an umbrella
And I shake it free of words, empty
Balloon holy smoke

She wanting to move on
She wanting to move on
She wanting to move on
She wanting to move on

Looking out at the street
It’s nothing to know of you
Puff
