I move into my grandmother's house
She's not at home
I stay for a few hours
I try to feel as at home as I can
Her cat on my knees
Her knitting in my hands
By the windowsill time is standing still, still, still
Her cat is a soft toy
And it makes me think of her fake smile
I try to feel as old as I can
Her lump in my throat
Her thorns deep in my skin
By the windowsill time is standing still, still, still
