unknown
my father is awake with heart
burn the trees and fields of tiger
lilies line the casket of my long lost
love strings the air with pink construction
paper and plastic and rubber
bullets twitter in the sky like red
robins peppering the ground for earth
worms sleep in the skull of our great grand
father to the bride who wears a white wedding
gown of silver stars that are homeward
bound to the pillars of hell in greek
tragedy has no home but in your jaw
bone white and naked of the flesh
you and I
you and I
we are here
did you know
we are here
burn the trees and fields of tiger
lilies line the casket of my long lost
love strings the air with pink construction
paper and plastic and rubber
bullets twitter in the sky like red
robins peppering the ground for earth
worms sleep in the skull of our great grand
father to the bride who wears a white wedding
gown of silver stars that are homeward
bound to the pillars of hell in greek
tragedy has no home but in your jaw
bone white and naked of the flesh
you and I
you and I
we are here
did you know
we are here
