Lyrics
The little brass teeth of the kenzan on the sill
Bite the green stem I just cut on a slant, holding it still.
Cold water pools 'round the second knuckle of my thumb,
The whole quiet apartment is playing dumb.
One spray of orchid, two iris spears,
Pruning away the echo of seventeen years.
[Chorus]
I'm learning the angle of leaving.
Making a line that knows how to breathe in.
[Verse 2]
You asked from the doorway, "qué estás haciendo over there?"
I said, "Just making a little new room for the air."

[Chorus]
I'm learning the angle of leaving.
Making a line that knows how to breathe in.
[Bridge]
My mother's hands knew how to braid so tight.
I'm braiding the shadow with afternoon light.
[Chorus]
I'm learning the angle of leaving.
Making a line that knows how to breathe in.
[Outro]
Just for me.
