You are not here and I watch steam rise from the cup before me

about

You are not here and I watch steam rise from the cup before me is evolved from the soundtrack from my 2020 video "ENJOY NOW: performing presence (breakfast edition!)" Stream in full via my website.

It represents a nostalgic reverie during a rose-tinted afternoon tea drinking moment, where the wistful lyric opines the absence of an attachment figure and melodies build behind it in a cathartic crescendo.

lyrics

You are not here
And I watch steam
Rise from the cup
Before me

You're not here any more
And I watch steam
Rising from the cup
Before me

You're not here
Where did you go?
Why did you leave me?
Are you coming back?
When you coming home?

Where you did you go?
Where
Why
Why
Why

You're not here any more
And I watch steam
Rising from the cup
Before me

Where
Why
Before me
