Many bad things
When the bone bleaches
Stiffens quicken thickens

Many sickly things
When the skin squeaks
Thrilling filling killing

Many steady things
When the words crumble
Falsely fiercely simply

Many broken things
When the hand falls
Weakly weary blindly

Many lush things
When the eyes burst
Colorful hateful helpful

Many things bring me back
Nothing keeps me there
Many things call me back
Nothing keeps me away

A heart lingers in your eye
Lingers and wanders far
A head breaks the shadows
Breaks and builds me up

Many green things
When the smoke pours out
Coldly somberly tiredly

Many bloody things
When the ribs bend
Twisting wishing missing

Many grown things
When the numbness comes
Slowly silently steeply

Many clear things
When the dawn breaks
Haunting hunting hurting

Many forgotten things
When the promise remembered
Thinking speaking aching
