one last breath and then [bad word] 
as long as your feet carry you 
cut from the strings that held you back 
and tried to tear your world apart 

one last breath 
the camera flashes and [bad word] 
into the sparkling golden red 

for all these years 
you’ve kept all the postcards 
on refrigerator doors and on shelves 
safely locked away from yourself 

you were holding on to this place
