In your wake

IN YOUR WAKE (E A D G B E)

It’s why I’m here and you’re not. Forever left in your wake.

You just shattered like stars swimming in the sky. Hours from the nearest hospital.

 

What could have been and still could. If it were up to me it would all burn.
And we would start again with no one to tell us how or why we should not.

 

Did you not just notice the lights go out? Trees and seagulls battling the pig-nosed southerly. Cars crash on the street outside our house every day. It’s a wonder we get home safe.
