Burn Pile

Well I'm learning to make

this a permanent feeling

I guess this

is how the living start

learning about dying

And this knot is interior

in this house and in these bones

But who am I to say?

I miss you all the same

and the blood in your veins

The earth and the debris that I haul

feel the weight of it all

I swear it away

You'll remember me

I swore it away

You'll remember me

Walk it out to the burn pile

All the debris I haul

feel the weight of it all

You'll remember me

But who am I to say?

The blood of our youth

is the blood in our veins

The earth and the debris that I haul

feel the weight of it all

Well I swear it away
