Dangle Down

Sing me something I don't have to remember

because you told me you would do that for me one day

Sit on the edge of the plot

and let your legs dance with me one last time

because it is the first compassionate thing you figured out on your own

Drop down with the Werther's

and the watches

and all the things that would date me when and whence they dig me up

because they will

and when they exhume all there is to exhume

they will look me blue in the eye

and find no trace of you
