about

Based on the works of two women authors, Marguerite Yourcenar and Usula Zilinsky, this love song tells the tale of a triangle in a time of war.

lyrics

His Coat


Come. Bring me to it.
We could pretend anything.
Pretend I were Judith & that fabric
Actually Holoferne’s head.
Aren’t those buttons his eyes?
Please do not pluck them
Unless it is to lay their shine
Upon mine. Yes, then fit
The epaulets to either ear &
Make a crown of the medals.
Anything, I say again, anything
As in even burn, bury my arms
In those arms
To once more have his warmth,
He who was our enemy
According to the flags that know
Not our names.

Yes, according to the flags that know
Not our names,
I am traitor, you, assassin, & he,
This riddled cloth woven to hold flesh,
Innocent of everything while mad

With the design of love
