yesterday I was deep crackling night-sky blue notes
I was all low tones double bass and the wringing of strings
a callous on the ring finger grey in the eyes of the lover
I no longer speak to you could find me in every fold in all the spoils
of the bookshelf in that broken nail scratch me baby yesterday
I was flat out on the couch I was meaning in bird formations
that uncomfortable silence in smoking areas filled
with tension the mist that hangs over the fields and how you've been waiting
for transparency I was that lone hair on the white sheet I was dark rum
I was a stolen pebble or citation out of context I felt all those things
you know but that was yesterday today I'm wishing harder
than anyone's ever wished I have no proof of that but if you don't believe me
you should come and get me because I'm that love letter my love I'm
every cliché you hoped to avoid wacky crepe paper and
glitter the big blue eyes of literature I'm the vulnerability
you're scared of feel free to make fun of me safety
and humour are closely linked I get that my god
today I want all the pink the soft blue I want all those hues
if I may I want to feel the currents sand tiny brittle twigs
between my toes I want the whole completely sincere
fearless thing

gisteren was ik krakend diep nachthemelblauw schurende basstem
ik was al die lage tonen die contrabas en het uitwringen van de snaren
die eeltlaag op de ringvinger het grijs in de ogen van de geliefde
die ik niet meer spreek je kon me vinden in iedere plooi in het rooien
van de boekenplank in die gebroken naald scratch me baby was ik
gisteren was ik uitgeblust op de bank hangen ik was betekenis in
vogelvluchten die ongemakkelijke stilte in rookruimtes op spanning
gezet de mist die over een weiland hangt en hoe je op transparantie
wacht ik was die haar op dat witte laken bruine rum was ik
een uit context gegraaide kiezelsteen of citaat ik voelde al die dingen
moet je weten maar dat was gisteren vandaag wens ik harder dan ooit
gewenst is ik heb er geen bewijs voor maar als je me niet gelooft
moet je me komen halen want ik ben die liefdesbrief liefje ik ben
elk cliché dat je had willen vermijden waanzinnig crèpepapier en
glitter de grote blauwe ogen van de letteren ben ik de kwetsbaarheid
waar je bang voor bent je mag een grap over me maken veiligheid
en humor liggen dicht bij elkaar dat begrijp ik ook mijn hemel
vandaag wil ik al dat roze dat zachte blauw ik wil al die schakeringen
als het mag ik wil het stromen voelen zand en broze takjes
tussen mijn tenen ik wil dat compleet oprechte onverschrokken
hele ding
