Rust Dress

we’re setting her up at this point

She’s wearing a shirt and shorts girl what’s hard to understand

Excluding the culture line, the 5150 line really hits

I almost lost my shit when I saw culture. 

Mmm
Ooh
 
Blackbirds will sing in the same key
As you play in the shoes that I bought you
& Sweet baby Jane don't know a thing
About my songs, but she knows I'm a monsoon 
 
& Baby you
All the things you do
& the ways you move
Send me straight to heaven
Baby you 
What you never knew
What I never said
Is you're my living legend
 
Hipsters will sing just like a dream
In Sin-é or the back Brooklyn bayou 
But you never cared about my name
& darling I never meant to defy you
 
But baby you
All them things you do
& those ways you moved
Send me straight to heaven
& baby you
I never said to you
You really are
My living legend
 
I got guns in the summertime
& horses too
Guns in the summertime
& horses too
I never meant to be bad or unwell
I was just living on the edge
Right between heaven and hell
& I'm tired of it
 
Ooh
All the things you do
& the ways you move
Send me straight to heaven
& Baby you
What I never said to you
Is you really are
My living legend
 
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why
Why
 
My living legend
My living legend
My living legend
My living legend

HELP

I've updated the OP with the spoken word version of the poem, transcribed by @@takeitdoen who is able to listen to it in Australia.
 
It's interesting to note she changed around the poem a bit, especially with excluding certain words with the place of long pauses. I've left both versions in the OP x

Last year, when I wrote you my last letter,
The beginning of my future poetry
I acknowledged who you really were for the first time.
 
I didn’t call you by any other name,
I let you know that I knew the true nature of your heart.
That it was evil,
and that it convinced me that darkness was real,
That the devil is a real devil,
and that monsters don’t always know that they’re monsters.
 
But projection is an amazing thing.
After you left and burnt the house down,
You tried to convince me it was I who was holding the matches.
 
You told me I didn’t know who I was,
But I do.
 
I love rose gardens.
I plant violets everytime someone leaves me.
I love the great sequoias of Yosemite
 
And if you asked my sister to describe the first thing she thinks of when she thinks of me,
She would say 'Camp fire smoke.'
 
I’m gentle.
I’m funny when I’m drunk,
But I haven’t been drunk for 14 years.
 
I go on trips with my friends to the beach who don’t know that I’m crazy.
I can do that.
I can do anything,
Even leave you.
 
Because my bedroom is a sacred place now that there are children at the end of my bed,
Telling me stories about the friends that they pretend to hate, that they will make up with later.
And there are fresh cut flowers that I grew myself in vases from the yard on nightstands, hand-carved by old pals from Big Sir.
And the longer I stay here,
The more I am sure
That the more I step into becoming a poet,
The less I will fall into being with you.
 
The more I step into my poetry,
The less I will fall into being with you.
 
The more I step into my poetry,
The less I will fall into bed with you.
 
 
 
Thank you to @ takeitdoen for the transcription, for it has been released in Australia

Holy shit. 
This is the best project she's ever made.
 
Everyone who said Jack was great, I'm sorry I doubted you. His score has such incredible range, and it totally transforms the work.
 
Land of 100 Fires - if you loved the Hollyweird vibe of the Lust for Life trailer, you're going to love this track. It's old timey, brassy and WITCHY.

I was listening to the Apple Books preview and the second poem just decided to play. Her voice sounded super LQ though.

Also, one more thing. This picture she posted on her instagram with the caption "LA Who am I to Love You" perfectly captures this poem. I know her book will include some of her original photography, but I wonder if this picture may be included as well to supplement this poem. I wonder if this picture was taken around the time she wrote the poem.
Also, when she first posted a picture from this day in 2018 with Ben, the caption was "LA-->SAN FRAN" 
 
"I'm lonely, LA, can I come home now?
I left my city for San Francisco
And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge
But it's not going as I planned
I took a freeride off a billionaire('s jet) and brought my typewriter and promised myself that I would stay but
It's just not going the way that I thought"
 
'LA who am I to love u'

 
'LA-->SAN FRAN'

i think the most interesting thing about her poetry so far is that she really, really seems to be opening up in a way we’ve never seen. i feel as though we’re really going to hear a new layer of her we can’t understand in her music
