Go Henry

The years pile up

And layer like a rock

But some things still stick out

Through the frozen ground

Your face has begun to fade

And all the things you said

My mind is like a seive

But i can still see some things

When you were in the home

And your knuckles knotted closed

You swore you'd never go

You raged like a dying poet

The earth underfoot

Had all begun to move

And when the hammer fell

The savages hardly shuddered

The building all fell in

The screams were deafening

The nurse chatted quietly

The savages all heard nothing

And angels broke their pledge

And they revealed themselves

They came to take you in

And gathered you up in their wings

They could not believe it

We were oblivious

Fucking idiots

Us savages all knew nothing

But its a quiet sound

A body in the ground

And its a shallow time

One stone in a long line.
