mahtowin and bill white - TAKE THIS DRESS APART

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

/

lyrics

take this dress apart
the seams, the darts, the lines
take in the waist
and let out the spine

my ties to life are tenuous
each hour becomes more strenuous
if i make it through
it will be due
to circumstances extenuous

a window on the eastern side
a patio on the left
a screen door on the old front door
alarms to prevent theft

the building reconstructed
new fixtures are put in
weapons in the windows
a slaughterhouse of sin

outside the rain is falling
inside each drop a stain
that spreads across my tattered dress
and my silent remains
