Lie Down and Sleep, My Dear
Cut metal sheet and two rings
in the marrow of comprehended made us
never know why
pulled out
by fluorescent uniforms and sore siren
from wrong side of road already seen was swept out
phone
cognition
answer
finally they began to disappear
someone put the film on
it's rolling
if mercy is constructed from excessive delayed condolences
she doesn't want to be baptised by your stones
stepped in the bathroom
turned the water heater on
there is too much to wash out
people
so many people
pale faces walking
headed boxes slide in silence
she believed
you'll leave one, at least that smallest window
open
they lied
you're not forgotten
