| What Becomes of Us |
|---|
| It is early |
| You are dead |
| There are crows in our bed |
| But I won’t come undone |
| We are done, we are done |
| There is air still |
| In my lungs |
| I will get up and get on |
| With the other mouths and tongues |
| And the work there is to be done |
| This is what becomes of us |
| There are dim things in the pond |
| There is dust under the rug |
| And I don’t even know |
| What’s below, what’s below |
| But I am up! |
| I am above! |
| I have a new love! |
| And it’s warm like a gun |
| Or a knife that I fell on |
| This is what becomes of us |
| I was not ready |
| You won’t be back |
| I was not ready |
