I had it for fifteen years.

Thread
50N sulfuric acid
If sprayed on any fabric
Instantly turns it to rags
Just like some absences
Which sweep as a storm
N'tatter our souls
Bruise our hearts
Up to

Dark pit, deep and lonely
Rainbow coat, ripped, now only
A shred of bloodstained
Rags in an old man’s hand
Mourning for his favourite son
Alive in another far land....
