lyrics
I carried in the basil and bread A dented pan, a bruised lemon red The sink still held a chalky trace From your old bottle by the drain in place Seven tiles, one crooked spoon Steam hit the glass at half past noon I heard my keys in the bowl of steel And the room began to feel real First pot, first heat, first bite First pot, first heat, tonight First pot, first heat, first bite First pot, first heat, tonight The oil spread thin on the silver pan Garlic split open under my hand I salted slow, I watched it turn A small brown edge, a steady burn By the window, the laundry swayed No chair was missing, no bed was made I set two plates by the chipped blue wall And listened to the spoon tap the bowl First pot, first heat, first bite First pot, first heat, tonight First pot, first heat, first bite First pot, first heat, tonight At eighteen forty, the rice went soft I ate standing up with the hood pulled off One mouthful, then the silence came My name on the steam, my own last name First pot, first heat, first bite First pot, first heat, tonight First pot, first heat, first bite First pot, first heat, tonight
