Safe Under a Sewer Grate

Of Montreal - "Feminine Effects"

I don't have the photograph that goes with this song. The one of a woman of 29, with passable posture, sitting at her dinner table in the afternoon, smiling nervously just off to the left, probably at the photographer, a stranger in her apartment. Her wall is wood-panelled, and there's a poster for a Proclaimers show, and some framed pictures of her cousins and parents. Behind is the yellow floor of her kitchen coming through the side of the frame, the grey carpeting in the mirror leads to the window, with a vase of cloudy water. Her hair is in a bun, with a bit coming out the middle. Her chestnut cardigan and pink blouse are the bishop and the rook in a ready line of white. Her hand, the veins on top catching white sunlight, the king.
