lyrics

I know you from sepia-tones and little girl barrettes; or,
a mother’s collection of artifacts.

Most of your things are in an upstairs room
collecting grief and dust:
Strange material fingerprints.

I’ve got one of your necklaces
I wear it all the time
maybe it’s ransom
to bring you back some

My grandmother shows me
a lock of your hair and says
it’s all that was left and
I am 14, 14 (I am 14)

In Kindergarten we’re taught the alphabet
forwards and back around, but no one talks
about the void between Z and A
where people become myth

And the night before the Final
I swear I thought I saw your ghost,
but it was probably someone else in white nightclothes
walking down the stairs

walking down the stairs

As a Prairie woman with lots of feelings, Fern finds her strength in poetic lyrics and understated arrangements that aim to get you right in the gut with songs about angst, love, and those weird thoughts that get stuck in your head right before bed.
