as it turns out
the sunken years
the drunken years
offered nothing but tears
for all of us
exposing our worst fears
as you were found
dangling from a tree
on a Sunday morning
on our way back from church
you could have chosen a nicer one
than the one next to our local DMV
in you´re next life if you get one
pick the one behind the library
the grand old oak
it´s been there forever
and it knows a soul or two
that has passed on by
just like you
