Davey's Song
My friend is falling apart.
Shattering like
brittle kindling
the bones give way.
Some say cancer
I think termites
and Humpty
on the ground.
I'd give him a hug
but fear he would
explode to dust.
Gentle, gentle
resonate and linger
like the fading note
of a song.
Shattering like
brittle kindling
the bones give way.
Some say cancer
I think termites
and Humpty
on the ground.
I'd give him a hug
but fear he would
explode to dust.
Gentle, gentle
resonate and linger
like the fading note
of a song.
