Bilingual
When I was 13 I had a sister for 6 months
She arrived one February morning
Pale and shellshocked
From past lives I could not imagine
ย
She was 3 years older than me
But in no time we became friends
ย
We'd listen to her mix tapes:
Dead Can Dance, Felt, This Mortal Coil
She introduced me to her favourite books
Gave me clothes
And my first cigarette
Sometimes
We would head down to Blackbirds Moor
To watch the barges on Grand Union in the twilight
ย
She said, "The water has no memory"
ย
For a few months everything about our lives was perfect
It was only us
We were inseparable
ย
But, gradually
She passed into another distant part of my memory
Until I could no longer remember her face
Her voice, even her name
We've got
We've got a perfect life
ย
We've got
ย
We've got a perfect life
ย
We've got
ย
We've got a perfect life
ย
We've got (we've got)
ย
We've got a perfect life
ย
We've got (we've got)
We've got a perfect life
ย
We've got (we've got)
We've got a perfect life
We've got (we've got)
We've got a perfect life
ย
We've got (we've got)
We've got a perfect life
