We
were bright
small fireflies
gleaming at nights
with soft silver wings,
alas bombs rained on us
with poisoned plains our harsh grave,
our magic gone, our show complete
for ever lost to darkness of night
with no prayers, no funeral for us.
On the way to my brother's funeral
I prayed for the seeds of his soul
to root in the merciful soil of heaven.
Mostly I prayed not to get a flat tire.
It would have killed me to not arrive on time.
A five-mile drive from a yellowing motel
to the foot of a flat stone,
Thank God both nail and glass
away from my salted path.
Aside his grave I played Bob Seger songs
Then a Holyman wearing dark glasses
recited a bunch of sweet words from a harsh book.
He did a fine job for being a stranger.
Glorified and sanctified
by all these tomes,
blessed and praised, exalted,
extolled and honored,
adored and lauded
in the name of these wondrous vintage books,
acclaimed
in the name of poetry and science fiction
and lost race adventures,
sorrows and consolations,
abundance and peace,
dreams and losses
and dreaming still in celestial libraries,
Amen.
Oh choir sing high
so all won't hear this dead man cry
Oh tears for me
won't wash me clean or set me free
Oh bed of death
no time to pray before last breath
Oh grave I pray
God take my soul my bones here stay
Oh pray you should
before you hear the dirt on wood
