A Momentary Lapse...a true story
Her house was just a shell, a burnt-out ruin...
standing apart, the other houses still intact
with painted jalousies and window curtains.

Here I am in empty rich, luxury mansion.
A hovel with you would have been...

Your final hours were never about you,
But of things you would...
