The Funeral is Over
It’s noon on Christmas day ... Puccini plays
Ave Maria ... I’m at a funeral
Attending my own Death ....
You’re reading this in knowledge that...
I am already gone.
I’ll not be here again.
You’ll never see my feet walk
On this blue grey stone,
Nor will you see me with such a hurt
As has been handed out to me
For what I deem..too long.
No more at life’s disposal
Not open for abuse...
The 7th Seal is broken
Salt’s splintered on the floor
The Black Dog hugs my corner
The candle’s out.
It’s Christmas day...Schubert plays...
Ava Maria
The funeral’s over...
There’s just one song to sing
The song of gone.
