letra de tomcat disposables - chonny jash

i have mapped the cupboards and drawers
tracked the least walked spots on the floor
happy to be home, safe and warm
shadows by their feet. the odd vanishing treat
quietly eating while they sleep
so here’s where i’ll be raising my kids
if i can find someone to start a family with
till then, i dream of the day my odds and ends fit
i’ll wake up, there’ll be food on the stove
forever and never want for more

is there cheese in the great beyond?
rinds of parmesan
wine to water, night from dawn
life gets shorter, t–th grow long
mind me not and i’ll mind my own
and my mind’s not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
do i belong in right and wrong?
nature, i guess

one night, one flung light through this place
so i run for cover. over, under
left the rind out on the plate
little heart racing and praying “something keep me safe.”
i think it saw my face…
okay, one hungry day is nothing, come what may
but then winter came inside for three nights
left me grinding my t–th between my walls and gripping my dreams tight
curled up, kept my head up and put up the fight
i’ll make it through again
i have before
c’mon, now, what’s one more?
is there cheese in the great beyond?
rinds of parmesan
wine to water, night from dawn
life gets shorter, t–th grow long
mind me not and i’ll mind my own
and my mind’s not one bite smaller or lesser than yours
do i belong in right and wrong?
nature, i guess

spring bloomed in the kitchen again!
so i crawled out of the walls and squinting
saw hope on the stovetop, just like i’d always imagined it
more than i could eat, my dreams were finally reality
my struggles have a happy ending
they must want to be friends!

but right before i bite, the child’s eyes meet with mine
i don’t know why, but my, we’re both scared!
and so, i back off back to bed
i’ve been hungry for three nights, i’ll make it four and save my head
but as i mumble down to sleep, a helping hand appears;
a humble meal of water and cheese
one small act of quiet, warm peace
a night spent full and eased
the glint still left in my mind
let a sigh out as i close my eyes

one day ends, the next begins
that’s for the best

is there cheese in the great beyond?
is kindness not yet gone?
a ray of hope amidst the dark storm
now, i’m not one for guardian deities
but something tells me she said, so silently
“your mind’s not one bite smaller or lesser than mine.”

do i belong in right and wrong?
one k!lls, one grows
and why? i don’t know
but time goes on with me still not gone
so i’ll take alive along with alone
tonight, my song’s sung in right and wrong
nature, i guess
nature, i guess

nature, i guess
