The light
draining from his eyes
will exorcize this night
and we’ll be caught out of disguise
And the crows
like the marrow in our bones
will ebb and flow
while I trace the islands along your spine
He had so much left to give
when he let go
but you don’t owe a thing to him
or his ghost
He didn’t love you enough
not to leave you alone
He would’ve done what he’s done
even if he’d never known
His brain
splattered in the rain
I know he wanted you
to see this horrible display
But he wasn’t cruel
he was a fool
and all of it
was just a way to say what he couldn’t say
Hey, I need a hand with this
being grown
no, I don’t think I can handle this
on my own
but I’ve never loved no one
like I love getting stoned
and though I came close once
it was still a step below getting blown
The wind
drying out his skin
will levitate and spin us
so our new lives can begin
And we’ll grow old
while he stays cold
and all of it will be an epic elegy
for him
