Food City

from Poetry Ceylon by Ditty

/

lyrics

I come home today
And she's sitting on the sofa
With an undone strap of her bra
And we're sharing our beautiful days
Intertwined conversation
Beautiful admiration
For the twins and the goddesses that we bring out to be
Time passes, giggling mingling
We graze each other over tea
She says to me
She, she says to me
There, there will be a time Ditty

I came home last month
When he left me
Dumped me
SMSed me
And she was there
Collecting the pieces
Of my sadness
She was there
To help me undress
And peel every layer of torture
And throw it chronologically into her bottomless ears
She was there when I cried,
Confused, I realised,
I was denied, love
She, she says to me
There, there will be a time Ditty

I came home again
She says she's been day dreaming
Drifting off to the world where long distance
Is long distance no more
She says she sees herself
Holding hands with the man she loves
She spends the day scrubbing the bygone dirt and filth
Off the walls in my apartment
She marvels at the cat
She calls it a brat
And presents herself to me
Brown, deep, sublime
Her presence is like the warm winter sun
That penetrates the depths of my chest
And enables me
To see this side of myself
To be alone and suffice
She, she says to me
There, there will be a time Ditty

We go to buy groceries
I'm wandering
Still sundering from the thuds
Of my past, falling at every block
Of cheese, meat, cleaners veggies
Every song
Every One Four Five
That takes me back
Into time
She looks at me
Gives me a smile
And says to me
There will be a time Ditty
When you'll be happy in Food City
