作词 : | |
Everyone dated the demise of our neighborhood | |
from the suicide of the Lisbon girls. | |
People saw their clairvoyance in the wiped-out elms | |
and harsh sunlight. | |
Some thought the torture tearing the Lisbon girls | |
pointed to a simple refusal to accept | |
the world as it was handed down to them: | |
so full of flaws. | |
But the only thing we are certain of after all these years | |
is the insufficiency of explanations. | |
'Obviously doctor, | |
you've never been a thirteen year-old girl.' | |
The Lisbon girls were 13, | |
Cecile, 14, Lux, 15, Bonnie, 16, Mary, and 17, Therese. | |
No one could understand how Mrs. | |
Lisbon and Mr. Lisbon, a math teacher, | |
had produced such beautiful creatures. | |
From that time one, the Lisbon house began to change. | |
Almost every day, and even when she wasn't keeping an eye on Cecilia, | |
Lux would suntan on her towel wearing a swimsuit that caused | |
the knife-sharpener to give her a 15-minute demonstration for free. | |
The only reliable boy who got to know Lux was | |
Trip Fontaine, | |
for only 18 months before the suicides had emerged | |
from baby fat, to the delight of girls and mothers alike. | |
But few anticipated it would be so drastic. | |
The girls were pulled out of school, and Mrs. | |
Lisbon shut the house for maximum security isolation. | |
The girls' only contact to the outside world was through | |
the catalogs they ordered that started to fill | |
the Lisbon's mailbox with pictures of high-end | |
fashions and brochures for exotic vacations. | |
Unable to go anywhere, | |
the girls traveled in their imaginations: | |
to gold-tipped Siamese temples or past an old man, | |
the leaf broom tidying the [Maw's] carpeted [speck] of Japan (???). | |
And Cecelia hadn't died. She was a bride in Calcutta. | |
Collecting everything we could of theirs, | |
we couldn't get the Lisbon girls out of our minds, | |
but they were slipping away. | |
The colors of their eyes were fading, | |
along with exact locations of moles and dimples. | |
From five, they had become four, | |
and they were all (the living and the dead), | |
become shadows. We would have lost them | |
completely if the girls hadn't contacted us. | |
Lux was the last to go. Fleeing from the house, | |
we forgot to stop at the garage. After the suicide free-for-all, | |
Mr. and Mrs. Lisbon gave up any attempt to lead a normal life. | |
They had Mr. Henry pack up the house, | |
selling what furniture he could at a garage sale. | |
Everyone went just to look. Our parents did not buy used furniture, | |
and they certainly didn't buy furniture tainted by death. | |
We of course took the family photos that were put out with the trash. | |
Mr. Lisbon put the house on the market, | |
and it was sold to a young couple from Boston. | |
It didn't matter in the end how old they had been, | |
or that they were girls, but only that we had loved them, | |
and that they hadn't heard us call; still did not hear us, | |
calling out of those rooms where they went to be alone for all time, | |
alone in suicide, which is deeper than death, | |
and where we will never find the pieced to put them back together. |
