I can still stand by its sight
But it never gets easier
As if the grave engrains the ground
Six feet deeper, each time I come
To its parlor of pain,

As it watches my feet
Knock the rocks around
Their black soiled homes.

She is like the cemeteries rose,
Yet its sight is sweet like
The owls that rise
As the night stretches thin
To their mouths that speak of nothing
As their eyes risen with sin.

It unfolds upon her
Black widowed bed of
Crows that watch
From the airs
Tight, still, mirage,

She is the sound
That carries the day forward
And as she sleeps
Her body coils
With the shadows
Resting with the words
Cemented on her gravels portrait.

Within the sightly gray
Over her graves descent,
She leaves me on my knees
As the Eastern wind
Listens with its fingers
Above the white moire
I remember she always was.
