The Skeleton

Strewn
Over soon
Cement
Our field
Calm pale
Stone
Wooden bone
Cement
Dead frame
No grave
Memory is leased
With bulldozer ease
Freight of the past
A whole new map
Haven't seen the skeleton
Might be afraid to walk again
He could break the spell but then
Become a place I've never been
Plot in the graveyard
Points in a flowchart
And's but not if's always tunneling out
Haven't seen the skeleton
Wimpering, collapse again
Like a stranger to a friend
Turning back and falling in
Some bad infinity
New melting noisily
Our grasp fumbling

Dull hum of the lunch rush
I'm gleaming in station
Motley four man crew
Scattered ovation
Musked in rose and rind
Saboteur of his time
Slowly holier now
My floral heart divine
Damn the wide-brim set
Haven't felt it yet
Heaven caked on our shores
The semblance of more
My obit will read
I was here to please
Debt paid in full
By whatever means
Our lair is so bare and bright
Lacking affectation
Empty space, no frills
No fuss to spill
So remote despite
Company polite
Head full of past
An uneasy laugh
That's my portrait there
Hung with so much care
Do I look at ease?
A well-heeled man of peace?
You could surely say
It's better this way
It's better this way
It'll be better someday
