my eyes are burning
but you don't heal me to cry
dried up river banks
churning
off the dust of 'try'
back turned towards the
whimpers
like a dog on a short leash
chained in the backyard
isolated from the world
from the one word.. 'fleas'
there's nothing for you here to take
anymore
and anyway
it's time to shake
the rugs out with your sympathy
we'll sell the house
i'll drive away
past the pastel curtains
against the dirty window panes
watch the flowers wilt
and the dog decay
corpse and bones
lay heavy over my mourning
my eyes are burning
but there will be tears by morning
