lyrics

One Hundred Dragonflies
(for Nonna, Mafalda Mazelli Tortora who we miss every day. Also for my brother David & Grandpa, Frank Tortora)

Woke up to one hundred dragonflies circling our heads.
The day after you left us so alone.
Now all that I can see are bright lights in spaces where you were.
You were always singing.
You were always there.

Woke up alone today,
again in the dark,
and the storm outside couldn't hide my brother's cries.
Violent moans like those of our father when dope left his system.
We need you more than you know.
We need you more than ever.

History left your mark on my face with this nose and hair
that still grows wild as grape vines
kissing my cheeks.
I know you're here.

So I'll hold my breath till I see shapes or see your face again.
Whichever comes first.
If that doesn't work, I'll summon heaven
to pour down onto us all
and leave us drenched wet in your scent.

You are always listening.
You are always here.
