Oh, forgive me
forgive me
forgive me

I'm much too selfish:
I lock myself up
and I think of death
every day

And I am even selfish
enough to worry

How frightening to
disappear into the
wilderness --
An unpeopled country you're
not welcome in

And, coughing
(a nasty cough)
I confuse
myself with the newborn
coughing with screaming

Forcing air out of
and into my lungs
is a comforting exchange
