cover their eyes
© krista detor, cover their eyes
somebody’s whispering behind the curtains
i am the seeker and they are all hiding
and out in the kitchen under the cupboard
is my little brother, he thinks i won’t find him
miniature bottles all stand uninspected
right next to the beer steins my father collected
dust from the curtains is snow in the air
and they are all hiding still, back behind there
chorus:
i count to a hundred, by fives to a hundred
in hallways and stairways they run where they will
and i’ve covered my eyes and i let them all hide
and in cupboards and curtains they’re all hiding still
first day of high school, my stockings are all wrong
my hair is too curly and everyone’s pretty
out in the courtyard and there by the fountain
the cheerleaders huddle but they do not see me
miniature soldiers all stand at attention
right there on the football field
but my family’s not rich, we’re like weeds in the lawn
so we hide in the living room with the tv on
i count to a hundred, by fives to a hundred
in hallways and stairways they run where they will
and i’ve covered my eyes and i let them all hide
and in cupboards and curtains they’re all hiding still
somebody’s calling from california to
give me the news of the ones that i missed
on the way to alaska or portland or some destination
that isn’t the place that i am
miniature pictures are glued in their lockets
they cover their eyes when the latches are closed
dust from the curtains is snow in the air
and we are all hiding still back behind there
i count to a hundred, by fives to a hundred
in hallways and stairways they run where they will
and i’ve covered my eyes and i let them all hide
and in cupboards and curtains they’re all hiding still
i count to a hundred, by fives to a hundred
on roadsides and phone lines they wait where they will
and i’ve covered my eyes and i let them all hide
and in cupboards and curtains they’re all hiding still
