Two blocks down on the corner A crowd is beginning gather now to watch the scene unfold And already a man is instructing them all to please just go back home
Their thoughts are not with the family Who stands there shaking in mourning as the workers clean the street Their eyes are all locked on the motionless form underneath a thin white sheet
Thinking she Had to be No different from me
Please All my peace Depends on the secrets Of why these bones Serve as our homes for a moment and after that we just don’t know
I am the son of the offspring Of some who succumbed to their bodies and now I’m stuck here in my own Hoping to god that I wont be stuck forever in this soul
