Dirt

I know Buried in the sternum like a tree Something's throbbing within I know Crooning as the fragments drift astray It takes the edge off the ache Lately Everything seems further from my grasp Maybe Dirges might be all we've ever asked Above Calculating what the weather brings Countless meaningless things But I know Floating through the river we called time Glory shines like a dime Sing me Elegies of lives I've never lived Sink in Dowagers can teach you how to swim Maybe Golden coins will cover up my eyes Maybe Definitely that's what's peace of mind
