Two Small Deaths (Daytrotter Session)

Two small deaths happened today

While I was at work

While I was at play

No less, I've darkened my door

So I cannot cry

Now what is that for?

Is this the way my mind works?

Forwards, always forwards

Is this the way my brain waves?

Backwards

Sideways

I've no heart strong enough lasting

To listen to all the world at its passing

I'm saving up all my strength

For when I finally am at keeping you safe

When my last friend shall be here

Slow and quietly

I'll be weeping around them

Pick at the dead
