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. |
