eulogy to Kurt

Wrap me in your hollow legs
so I won’t look at sky.
Tempt me with your galaxy,
but it don’t help my eyes.

Abort the fetus and the feeling.
The sun’s too bright, my skin is peeling.
I stay up when I should sleep
to listen to you weep.

The pillow was angel-soft;
the wings were torn on wires.
I wrapped you up in my sheets,
my s___, and my fire.

Abort the fetus and the feeling.
The sun’s too bright, my skin is peeling.
I stay up and count the trees
moving in the breeze.

Love the plaster stance of men
and the plastic stare of sun.
I never got to write a song
before I shot my gun.

Abort the fetus and the feeling.
The sun’s too bright, my skin is peeling.
I stay up when I should sleep
to listen to you sleep.

And I stay up when I should sleep
to listen to you reap.

And I stay up when I should sleep
to listen to you weep.

To you weep.
To you weep.
To you weep.

Maybe it makes more sense now that I changed the top line slightly.   If not, hey I tried (but not too hard).
