Grave Sights

Stones sink into the ground

 The oldest beneath never to be found 

Coffins, urns, and empty spaces 

All lay still set in their places 

 

Only I move on this land 

A heavy rock held in my hand 

No coin or bill or fortune for me 

So this is where I had to flee 

 

The stone I carry is all to my name 

Though I guess in death we're all the same 

So here I laid this scribbled stone 

And here I rest in my new home

  • Empty Skies

    I used to wake to blinding light 

    When the sun would hug me tight 

    Now I wake to haunted dreams 

    Startled by songs of screams 

     

    The moon and stars are hidden too 

  • Linger

    When my mother died I got her ashes 

    When my dog died I got his collar 

     

    I hear my mother's voice 

    I see her face 

    I smell her cigarette
