| Her eyes were like nothing
|
| Her stumbling legs would barely keep beneath her
|
| Just waiting for the Reaper to release her
|
| Today she hadn’t tasted nothing to speak of
|
| Yesterday she had a slice of pizza
|
| Liquids had turned to solids on her t-shirt
|
| The type perhaps a scientist could research
|
| Been weeks and months since anyone could reach her
|
| Tics ago on the clock her whole esophagus was choking on a cock that didn’t
|
| tease her
|
| To cop the anesthesia
|
| A mother once beside herself with worry now would wander right beside her none
|
| the wiser
|
| She didn’t recognize her
|
| Her promise famished in a family where there weren’t no providers
|
| There weren’t no survivors
|
| Calamity too heinous to believe
|
| Her cavity was so contaminated with disease
|
| You couldn’t hope to clean it with entire summer weeks
|
| Much less a Summer’s Eve
|
| ALL YOU
|
| ALL OF YOU
|
| Could almost vomit from the stench
|
| The rotting of the flesh
|
| The last occasion that she had been anybody’s guest
|
| Was anybody’s guess
|
| Her mind was way to whittled to be riddled with regret
|
| It teetered on the edge
|
| No direction that required any steps
|
| No director to yell «quiet on the set»
|
| No price was on her head
|
| No one was racked with grief or feeling loss
|
| If there isn’t anyone that’s looking for you are you even lost?
|
| No friends had been as solid as the concrete she was on
|
| So was she even off?
|
| At times she’s in no mood to make no movements on her own accord
|
| Police would then accost
|
| You haven’t seen a more afflicted corpse
|
| Since Christ’s crucifixion on the cross
|
| ALL YOU
|
| ALL OF YOU
|
| I haven’t seen her in a stretch
|
| I wonder if she rests
|
| I wonder if the demons that had haunted her in her life, would haunt her in her
|
| death
|
| There was not a missing persons file on anybody’s desk
|
| The topic hadn’t made anybody’s docket
|
| The change she needed more than what could jingle in your pocket
|
| Or had she been a prophet?
|
| A saint who withstood pain that wouldn’t lessen
|
| Who’s life had been so I could learn a lesson
|
| That even those that get high and just say «F it»
|
| Can die and go to heaven
|
| And who was I for questioning her ethics?
|
| Should I be ashamed I never made the effort
|
| Or took the time for taking her to breakfast
|
| Or to the Fertile Crescent
|
| Woebegone that I never heard her message
|
| Before she’d gone returning to her essence |
