Fossils & Artifacts

from All The Weeping Cameras by The Jack McCoys

	/

lyrics

All the weeping cameras
Are weeping pictures of
How it used to be

Poses like rows of carrion
Filling up the frames now
And love like static from a radio

All the lazy afternoons
Projected upside down
Squirming on the negative

Signals whip through tube and tremolo
And flutter around the story
Of all our saddest images
But don’t you worry now, baby

Talk about fossils and artifacts
Our smiles squished into the clay
Though everything that passes through your lens
Is reflected away
And burned into the irises of every eye
That watched us drift
From photograph to photograph
With our lips pulled back
And our teeth hanging out
And our happiness at every angle
Twitching there
