yes the morrow had pidgeons
dancing as crows over troy
and you pretended to be helen
with a bit of skin more
than she ever did

said the men on the ground
should see a piece of heaven
before the blade took their eyes
and you were as close to god
as they would ever be

so it was your duty
to the panting of their minds
to ease the pain of death
with some return to dreams
for those who would begin

the rowing man's endless sleep

"and you were as close to god
as they would ever be"

saw the movie to...and thought it to be well done...as are you words...very much enjoyed this D.

One question though, I'm not understanding why the coins for the birdman? Why did they do that?

Thanks a bunch for writing this lovely...

there was a boat that took the warrior to the other side..to their afterlife..
and an oarsman that moved the boat..
the coins were to pay the fare

thanks lady friend
