FORM-I:{waterfall entry}

[acoustic:{dry pulse}][electric:{bent answer}][fiddle:{enters late}]

Wash over me.

I am already under it.

The waterfall skips the question

about more than friends.

It just hits.

FORM-V1:{hard soap logistics}

[electric:{short blues answers}][drums:{loose pocket}]

I build myself up

to stand on the wet stone

with a bar of hard soap

and a practical plan.

Round the serpentine

they were having empty conversations.

I am having a conversation

with my elbows.

They were filthy.

The soap agrees.

Friends say

I’m anxiously attached.

Attached to the bar.

It keeps trying to leave

down the rocks.

I chase it.

That is the passion.

FORM-C1:{carbolic hook}

[electric:{wide singing bends}][fiddle:{rough replies}]

choir:{soft Aa-Oo bed}|{close thirds}|{light sixth above phrase ends}

Wash over me like a waterfall.

Do what you want.

Leave me the soap.

Until the moon gives in

I am still scrubbing.

Look in my eyes.

They tell you one thing.

This is carbolic.

I am enjoying it

in a way

the universe left off the list.

choir:{warm Aa-Oo harmony}|{three-part consonant stack}|{short decay}

FORM-TURN:{guitar-fiddle exchange}|{8 bars}

stage 1:{guitar states low bent blues cell}|{fiddle answers modal fragments}

stage 2:{double-stops widen}|{bass walks beneath}

stage 3:{guitar holds upper bend}|{fiddle falls below}

ending:{imperfect D resolution}|{dry gap}

FORM-V2:{soap as evidence}

[acoustic:{more exposed}][bass:{melodic}][drums:{behind beat}]

The numb stuff leaves this awake.

So does your heart of gold.

I pay my bills.

I rent a ledge,

a bad grip,

and a bar that smells

like it remembers a grandmother

and a crime.

You can throw away our history.

I am throwing away

the film on my wrists.

Call the Red Cross

if you want.

Tell them

a woman is under a fall

washing like she means it.

They can stay where they are.

Good.

FORM-C2:{smaller ruder mine}

[electric:{heavier breakup}][fiddle:{sharper replies}]

choir:{rounded Oo foundation}|{upper Aa harmony in thirds+sixths}

Wash over me like a waterfall.

Do what you want.

Keep the soap in my hand.

choir:{Aa-ah harmony}|{soft three-part lift}

Oo-oo the time is running out

of the bar.

Oo-oo reach out and feel it.

It is smaller.

It is ruder.

It is mine.

choir:{low Oo}|{warm upper third+fifth}|{smooth release}

We’ll shoot into the sky

when I slip.

Until then

I stay.

FORM-BR:{whole love story}

[drums:{kick+floor tom}][acoustic:{foreground}][fiddle:{low drone}]

Meet this way.

Meet this way.

Cold water.

Hard soap.

A shoulder that finally

lets the cloth go.

The universe can conspire

somewhere drier.

I am busy.

The fall keeps working.

I keep working back.

That is the whole love story.

Sorry.

The real kind.

choir:{dark but consonant Aa-Oo chord}|{slow swell}

The moon can give in

whenever it likes.

The backs of my knees

still have work.

Hard soap.

Full fall.
