Magnolias |
| There are some days |
| Alive in me |
| More alive than me |
| In those days |
| Bleeding into the lake |
| Is a blood-red paper corsage |
| Once you said that you hated all flowers |
| But for magnolias |
| You never cared |
| For the finer things, for linen or fancy cars |
| And the sweet summer hymn of violins |
| Played in your ear like nails on a chalkboard |
| I never could understand your words |
| Though we shared our fair share of blood |
| When you said you looked forward to death |
| Who were you putting on? |
| O Heaven |
| I’ve dreamed you |
| For such a long time |
| Heaven is a lake |
| Inside a crystal bowl |
| With tea lights and magnolias |
| Floating on the water |
| Forever and ever: |
| As far as the eye can wander |
