Only She Knows (R​.​e. The God I Used To Know)

from The Dancers Reward by Isabella James

lyrics

Writing a letter to god that reads,
Onomatopoeic screaming endlessly,
Punctuated with a heart and an exclamation mark,
And a lit fuse.

There is nothing more ephemeral than the beach,
A desire path that resets itself with every tide,
Does desire relight itself every night?
Against a shoe or sandpaper.

And some days I dwarf myself,
Like a wave curling my hair,
Silly,
Like I'm only a foley in a vast island.

We're all matches and we will all burn,
The antonym of affinity,
Your body in effigy.
How do you quell thoughts like this?

There is nothing more ephemeral than the beach,
A desire path that resets itself with every tide,
Does desire relight itself every night?
Against a shoe or sandpaper.
