Out Into the Snow

1
I've been living in a room where the rafters shook
2
Where the trains pass through the moonlight
3
Dusts rain down, cover my books
4
Even the bricks crumble to the floor in a landslide
5
Remember the caller from a pay phone somewhere
6
In the heart, broken, drunk
7
Muffled voices and shattered glasses
8
Toasted all the heads that were not yet hung
9
Yours was getting low
10
So I stepped out into the snow
11
Cut through the car wash across the street
12
Where a man cleaned the salt from his tires
13
Passed through the grocery store parking lot
14
Where open hands bummed nickels for fires
15
They sang "have you anything to keep a belly warm"
16
On the coldest night of the year
17
I gave my change to a bucket of steam
18
Said he had to get the hell out of here
19
Before he froze
20
And I stepped out into the snow
21
Found you flickering by lightbulbs
22
Your new shadows swayed in the concrete
23
Said baby it's true
24
You get cold so you look for heat
25
Everywhere I've been is empty and thin
26
And swallowed by the bay
27
Standing too low
28
And I stepped out into the snow
29
Verse from the Bible, memorized in childhood
30
Fell from your tongue to the car keys
31
Asked me if it mattered, everything had a pattern
32
You can't stand far enough back to see it
33
I helped you to bed, then I washed my face
34
Covered my hands over your kitchen sink
35
Then I cracked the window and let some pressure escape
36
Just in time to hear a siren scream
37
You'd better go
38
And I stepped into the snow
39
Shed my clothes and killed the lights
40
And laid in my bed staring at the rooftop
41
This is as quiet as the city gets
42
Shooting neon all over our cracked windshields
43
I don't remember what happened next
44
I'm afraid it took me by surprise
45
The night rolled in, it felt dark and then
46
I guess I closed my eyes
47
Just that note
48
And I stepped out into the snow
49
Dreamed I was a school of fish
50
I dreamed I was a mother nursing a child
51
Dreamed I was the long black train
52
Rattling through the countryside
53
Dreamed I was reborn in a tornado closet
54
In the mason jar's cobweb
55
Took some time to find my way out of the basement
56
The climb was slow
57
And I stepped back out into the snow
Cold Outside Your Window, Mama
