Second Hand Rose

about

A spoken word poem to separate the first half of the record with the second

lyrics

Stranded between peripheries

(( Mexico City
Kalamazoo Michigan
Babalon ))

You cut the silence
From my throat
And called it mercy

Black and white cinema
Buried beneath the hyacinths

Where does beauty end
And art begin?

My namesake surrounded
Your long distance drive
Through downtown Valentine
Long before I ever met you

(( Ghost Towns
Backroads
No Freeways ))

Out west is where we learned
To walk between the raindrops

Let’s put party hats on our concussions
And limp back to the birthday party

Stop digging for teeth
In what is only a smile
There are two kinds
Of people in this world
And we aren’t either of them

Stranded between peripheries
You cut the silence
From my throat

(( And
Called
It
Mercy ))



(( D. Santamaria ))
