It is always night for you here
d
Your brother was the first boy inside of you
d
And as a locust would eat
d
Your father was the first man inside of you
d
Your body is all your own
d
Keep it away from mine
d
I love you, Bill
d
You forgive everything
d
To die and not breathe
d
To writhe desolated
d
To crawl towards colorlessness
d
The grass across the yard
d
My father was the second man inside of you
d
The sailor is dead
d
The social worker is dead
d
The software engineer is dead
d
The singer is dead
d
You have always lied to us
d
Richard Brautigan never stuffed his underwear in your mouth
d
I love you, Bill
d
You forgive everything
d
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
d
Let them sing for joy
d
But it was you to whom the raven called
d
There must be some things
d
For which our God cannot be accused
d
There must be some things
d
For which our God cannot be accused
d
Both feet jammed against your heart
d
Both feet jammed against your heart
d
Do you want me to write your name?
d
Do you want me to tear it up?
d
Do you want me to throw it in the garbage?
d
