raze
i've
only
ever
seen
her
wearing
goggles
and
trying
to
drown
herself
in
neck
-high
water
.
she
sings
christmas
songs
in
the
middle
of
july
.
all
their
guts
have
been
ripped
out
.
only
melodies
remain
.
in
place
of
words
, muddled vowels
search
for
some
semblance
of
self
.
thursday
it
was
"jingle
bells
".
friday
it
was
"
santa
claus
is
comin'
to
town
".
this
week
there's
been
nothing
but
coal.
today
she
sang
the
ground
theme
from
"super mario bros.", speeding
up
as
time
expired
.
there
was
no
swirl
of
sound
to
celebrate
her
survival
at
the
level's
end
,
and
no
mournful variation
on
the
familiar
motif
to
denote
her
death
.
in
the
game
of
life
,
things
end
so
they
can
begin
again
.
