Parasitic Services
February 10, 2014
Why would I cry?
Skeletal hands sprouted like the flowers of the dead.
Although he was my uncle,
I've never so much as met him.
Skeletal hands sprouted like the flowers of the dead.
Spreading like weeds at his memorial service.
I've never so much as met him.
I feel bad for not crying.
Spreading like weeds at his memorial service,
Grief is a virus.
I feel bad for not crying.
My heart is still red and beating however.
Grief is a virus.
A parasite that bleaches hearts.
My heart is still red and beating however.
Why would I cry?
